Canongate Tolbooth, Royal Mile, Old Town of Edinburgh.

The Tolbooth was built in 1591 and would have formed the local hub for the Canongate burgh, along with the nearby Mercat Cross where merchants met and conducted their business. The Tolbooth would have had many functions, serving as courthouse, burgh jail and meeting place of the town council. The building was constructed for Sir Lewis Bellenden, the justice-clerk for the burgh, and his initials can still be seen over the archway to Tolbooth Wynd.

As the Canongate’s main public building it was designed to look impressive and express the burgh’s pride in its long history. The tower over Tolbooth Wynd has small turrets added, known as ‘bartizans’, as well as gun loops to give a sense of ancient battlements. Next to it is the courthouse block, with a staircase, or ‘forestairs’, leading up to its main entrance on the first floor. Look out for the plaque celebrating King James VI as well, complete with latin inscription and a large thistle.

The ground floor was used as a prison, mainly for those unable to pay fines or for minor misdemeanours, but on occasion it was used to hold people on behalf of the government. Certainly during the 17th century many captured Covenanters were held in the Canongate Tolbooth, accused of treason.

Edit: The two updated versions got lost in the reblogs, and people keep asking for characters, so I'm editing the original post now.

Also, after playing In Stars and Time, I have realised Siffrin isn't really voiceless in the way I meant, and people have said Six and especially Mono shouldn't count, but consider: it's my gender and I get to choose the blorbo

the 0th regression turn is the perfect execution of something kim dokja has been trying to create all along for yoo joonghyuk - here is a world where you don't have to suffer, where you don't have to lose anyone, where everyone you love is still alive. I'm asking you to continue the monumental task of living, and to make you believe in that terrible task, I'm clearing as easy a path as possible for you. here it is, your perfect world, where i can ask you to stay alive and you might just listen to me.

and it is a world where kim dokja asks all of those things of yoo joonghyuk... but still doesn't exist there with him. his vision of a good world for yoo joonghyuk requires kim dokja to exit the story.

i really like the idea of the winners of each season continuing to live (alone) in each world they won in..i know all of them except scar canonically die at the end but just imagine. Grian lives (alone) in the desert. Scott has the Scottage (alone). Pearl stays in her tower (she doesnt even have Tilly). Martyn has the whole Limlife server and roams around scavenging (he cant bring himself to go back to the Mean Gills base after what he did). Scar obviously lives at Trader Scar's and Cleo has a tiny janky world with the little village (at least she has villagers for company, they suppose. It's better than nothing.)

And now Joel lives in his car next to a burnt and crumbling barn, alone.

America's Response Monument, subtitled De Oppresso Liber, is a life-and-a-half scale bronze statue in Liberty Park overlooking the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City.

Unofficially known as the "Horse Soldier Statue" it is the first publicly accessible monument dedicated to the United States Army Special Forces. It was also the first monument near Ground Zero to recognize heroes of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Linlithgow Burgh Halls

The first municipal building in the town was a medieval tolbooth with a large bell tower. It was demolished on the orders of the English Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, to provide improved access to Linlithgow Palace, in 1650.

Following the Stuart Restoration, burgh leaders decided to commission a new town house. The new building was designed by John Smith in the neoclassical style, built by Robert Mylne in ashlar stone and was completed in late 1670.

A six-stage tower, which, as well as being balustraded, was originally surmounted by a belfry and weather vane, was erected to the immediate north of the town house in 1678. Following a serious fire in 1847, the town house was restored to a design by Thomas Brown in 1848.
