Description: The New Barracks, Edinburgh Castle "Edinburgh Castle...he owned was 'a great place'. But I must mention, as a striking instance of that spirit of contradiction to which he had a strong propensity, when Lord Elibank was some days after talking of it with the natural elation of a Scotchman, or of any man who is proud of a stately fortress in his own country. Dr. Johnson affected to despise it, observing that, 'it would make a good prison in ENGLAND.' " -- James Boswell, Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, 1785
