#mercatcross

#MercatCross, this is where proclamations of Royal death, birth, marriage, coronation, or result of general election happened even today. What they do not do anymore here is public hangings, public flogging, and the like. I learned the Clan Gregor who were part of the Glen Fruin “Valley of Sorrows” when James IV abolished their clan he had 11 of the chieftains hanged right at this Mercat Cross. Next time someone takes pictures of this because it is old or it has a unicorn on it please know this was also the gallows. #scottishhistory #royalmile #history #edinburgh #scotland #unverzagtholidayinscotland #unverzagtvacation2019 (at Mercat Cross, Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/B32n970FVjf/?igshid=l3pgmkno09d5

كُن شَاكراً مَهما كَانت الأَزمَاتْ ! وَاصِبر فَالمُعجزة تحَدث فِي ثَواني لاَ سَنوات ♡. ربمآ آليوم . . ربمآ غداً . . ربمآ يوم مآ . . فھي آن ضآقت لابُـد ٲن تفرج ! وإن تعسرت لابُـد ٲن تتيسر , وإن آستصعبت لابد ٲن تستسھل , وھذآ وعد ربي “ وبشر آلصآبرين #Scotland #Aberdeen #mercatcross

اللهم إني استودعك قلبي فلا يبقى فيه إلا انت. #Scotland #Aberdeen #mercatcross (at Mercat Cross)
