His Rock Castle:
No part of Scotland is devoid of his rock castletoric buildings or other relics, but there is a remarkable concentration of them in and around Edinburgh. Dominating the city from its lofty setting atop the Castle rock, opposite Princes Street, is Edinburgh Castle. Among its many his rock castletoric attractions is the llth century chapel of Queen Margaret (1045-1093), oldest building in Edinburgh ; it also contains the rooms used by the royal family before their removal to the nearby palace of Holyrood, rebuilt and extended for their use in the 17th century.The movement of the earth's crust may carry the rock as much as 700km (454 miles) below the surface. Here the temperature and pressure will be even higher and the rock will begin to melt. Molten rock is lighter than solid rock and it will begin to rise up through the overlying rock towards the surface. If it reaches the surface as a lava flow it will immediately be ready for weathering and erosion and the start of a new cycle. More often the molten rock solidifies underground and then all the rock above it must be eroded away before it can begin the cycle again.
In addition to Winchester's ent cathedral, Hampshire has Christ-i Priory Church, Romsey Abbey, and Beau-Abbey as witnesses to its his rock castletoric past, ister Castle is one of several his rock castletoric secu- structures in the county. Portchester has a i castle built within the walls of a Roman , and the town church is a fine example of work. There are also remains of a nan castle at Christchurch. Hurst Castle, f Milford, was built by Henry VIII. Popula-(1961) 1,336,794.
