New Town?130 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.

Counting Minutes128 viewsAt the airport with the family before leaving for Europe.

First European Photo117 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.

|
Cemetary107 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 Radisson105 viewsSort of beats the one in Saskatoon, wouldn't you say?

|
Time marches on100 viewsAs this statue sits watching, the clock is chiming.
|
|
New castle100 viewsThis is the royal residence when they come and visit.
|
|
North/South Bridge99 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.
|
|
Edinburgh Castle98 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.
|
|
Edinburgh Castle Park96 viewsHere's another shot from the park.
|
|
Dean93 viewsWith the city.
|
|
Hilly Old Town92 viewsA view from the castle towards the hill of the old town.
|
|
Cool buildings92 viewsNothing unique here, just some neat buildings.
|
|
Scottish Parliament92 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.
|
|
Appropriate Plane91 viewsThis is the jet that was to take me away from home. Who needs patches on backpacks when you can paint the whole plane?
|
|
Marble Tulip91 viewsSome flowers for me mum. So pretty.
|
|
Closer91 viewsThis is a small "Close" (alley) in Edinburgh. Very hilly. Sometimes, there would be shops with their storefronts here.
|
|
Salisbury Craig91 viewsWith the yellow bush that is so prevalent here in Scotland. The climb is on.
|
|
Bagpipe'd Pie-er90 viewsI wasn't in Scotland very long before I ran across somebody with a bagpipe and an open guitar case.
|
|
20 Deans Over Edinburgh90 viewsHere I am, towering over the city. The picture was courtesy some nice women from Florida.
