The Great Hall at Edinburgh Castle was built by King James IV of Scotland in 1512. He had married Margaret Tudor, daughter of King Henry VII of England in 1503. The carved corbels of the hall include representations of the Scottish thistle and the English rose. Elsewhere in the Great Hall the large windows show the influence of French architecture, while the open hammerbeam roof gives a nod to English royal architecture.
