What time is it in Hawaii? That's a question, not the question!

This sword that was broken was mended, it's one of the honours which were lost and found, two saints on it's blade, and a papal monogram, who found it, and where?

Well, it's now past midnight....cute. No, I'm not going to stay up half the night finding the answer. (Now where's that coffee?.....)

Among the regalia sitting in Edinburgh Castle are many relics of Scotland's past glory including the legendary Stewart and Lorne jewels. Perhaps the most important items of all, the Honours of Scotland are on display in the Crown room. These three items: the Crown of Scotland, the Sceptre of Scotland and the Sword of State hold the distinction of being the oldest sovereign regalia in the British Isles...

 

In October 1817, Sir Walter Scott obtained permission to search for the missing Honours. After months of exhaustive searching, they were found on February 4, 1818, when the castle governor and Walter opened a locked chest. The Honours of Scotland have remained on display at Edinburgh castle since then, except for a short stint during World War II. At that time they were again buried to protect them from possible German invasion. In 1996, the Honours were joined by the Stone of Scone, which was returned to the Scottish people after nearly 700 years in England.

 

I'm a sucker for a late night challenge....

And you did well for being upo so late you are of course correct!

hey, where did you find the Alcazar info....all I could find on the thing was silly tourist sites with the same 3 photos...almost no info on it except what I posted earlier.

I used Google, clicked on the Image search and counted the towers from loads of different angles!

I see The Cleaver is staying up even later! Trying to think of a question....or an island!

Yes.....muhahahahahahahah

 

I am ruined now, but a "castle" of old

Near an island of Oak and a river of Gold

I have no name, but my maker they know

They call him by name in the land of the snow

 

Who made me and what was my nickname?

Henry Sinclair, Castle at the Cross.

 

Castle at the Cross

The Castle at the Cross is atop Cadbury Hill and Gastonbury Tor, 17 miles from Chester, Nova Scotia. Only a mound of earth and stone remains today of the suspected ancient structure. Researchers believe 14th Century Norsemen and Scots built it, based on designs in the rubblework masonry. Several items were found around these ruins, including a much corroded pin, portion of a sword blade, wooden cones, and pieces of iron tools. From the scanty ruins, it is thought that the Castle had guard towers, main gate with pillars, and a dome or cone. Some historians believe this was a settlement by Prince Henry Sinclair, as shown in the lower left of the famous "Zeno Map" of the North. The Micmac legends describes Prince Henry's winter quarters in the vicinity of Advocate Harbor and Parrsboro. It was there, near Cape D'Or, that the explorers are thought to have built a new ship for their return voyage. The exact location is uncertain, however, mounds of dirt and stone formations have given archaeologists some clues. Here the Christian explorers would have celebrated Christmas, perhaps the first Christmas ever on American soil!
