Above the main door of this tower is a carving of the Order of the Thistle or the Knights of St Andrew; The Royal Arms of Scotland. This was founded in 1540 by King James V and was created by him, for himself and 12 knights, reflecting Christ and the 12 apostles. A flag showing The Royal Arms of Scotland is flown when HM The Queen is not in residence.
Much fascinating information is contained in the following video.
