  • A building on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town is illuminated with white and red lights at night.
  • A blue door with bronze doorknobs, mailslot, and keyhole. The scuffed and faded paint together with the slightly askew door panels has a grungy feel to it.
  • The inner door to Edinburgh Castle is made of wood with iron studs bolted through it to provide strength to the defenses. The wood pattern in the door looks like a christian cross.
  • A representation of St. Columba in a cloak and with a shepherd's crook in an old stained glass window in St. Margaret's Chapel in Edinburgh castle. He was one of the 12 apostles of Ireland and, in his journeys, visited Scotland in the 6th century.
