QuoteOfficials are marking 100 years since an historic tower at Edinburgh Castle was rediscovered.

David's Tower was built in the 1380s and stood 100ft tall. The city's first tower house, it dominated Edinburgh's skyline for 200 years.

It was also the Royal residence in the castle and was used as a secret hiding place for Scotland's Crown Jewels during World War II.

Remnants of the hidden tower were re-discovered during excavations in 1912.
