Counting Minutes150 viewsAt the airport with the family before leaving for Europe.

New Town?148 viewsBelieve it or not, this is a shot back at Princes St, which, while hardly new by North American standards, is quite a bit newer than the Old Town, I guess.

First European Photo136 viewsI hadn't even found my hostel yet (in fact, I'd just gotten off the bus from the airport to downtown in the new city) and I had to get some pictures of the castle and surrounding parks. Really beautiful.

|
Cemetary126 viewsI found out later this is actually a cemetary. I went up to look and ended up staying and reading a bunch of tombs and headstones. I found it interesting that they listed who bought the stone and the person's occupation on almost all the graves. And usually had a small retelling of their life/death.

The Radisson121 viewsSort of beats the one in Saskatoon, wouldn't you say?
|
|
Edinburgh Castle120 viewsHere's one of just the castle itself. Apparently, this park was a lake a few hundred years ago and they drained it to build the new city.
|
|
North/South Bridge118 viewsThe bridge has a different name depending what side you're on. Much of Edinburgh seems to have two levels of road, and sometimes you'll come to an overpass 15 storeys up not knowing you weren't on the ground.

New castle118 viewsThis is the royal residence when they come and visit.
|
|
Time marches on116 viewsAs this statue sits watching, the clock is chiming.

Edinburgh Castle Park115 viewsHere's another shot from the park.

|
Scottish Lass113 viewsWell, sure, she ducked out of the picture her friend took of me at the last minute and tried to do the paparazzi thing, but nobody gets away from my camera. We hiked up the seat together.
|
|
Scottish Parliament112 viewsThey recently redid their parliament buildings amid, as you may have guessed, a lot of controversy. I actually thought the design was kind of cool, especially when you see the surrounding accents.

Dean112 viewsWith the city.
|
|
Rock Wall112 viewsHere's me on the way down with the cliffs/craig in back.
|
|
Marble Tulip111 viewsSome flowers for me mum. So pretty.
|
|
Closer111 viewsThis is a small "Close" (alley) in Edinburgh. Very hilly. Sometimes, there would be shops with their storefronts here.
|
|
20 Deans Over Edinburgh111 viewsHere I am, towering over the city. The picture was courtesy some nice women from Florida.
|
|
Appropriate Plane110 viewsThis is the jet that was to take me away from home. Who needs patches on backpacks when you can paint the whole plane?
|
|
Hilly Old Town110 viewsA view from the castle towards the hill of the old town.

Cool buildings110 viewsNothing unique here, just some neat buildings.
