I've been living in Edinburgh for 6 years now, and sometimes take for granted what a great place it is. My niece came through to visit last week and we went a wandering and took a few pictures...

Edinburgh from Arthur's Seat (you can just see the Forth Road & Rail Bridges in the distance

Edinburgh South from Arthur's Seat

Princes Street from Edinburgh castle (West)

Prices Street from Edinburgh Castle (East)

My niece Cameron on the Castle Steps - a wee munkey she is!

Blow Up The Outside World...

The firing of the 1pm cannon - happens every day and it is LOUD!

Princes St (Waverly Station End)

Don't think I'll ever leave the Burg!

Give me a place to stay and I'd move there tomorrow.

Mr beers :-

Yeah, in Scotland to be precise... yeah the Camera is really good - i would recommend it especially for digicam noobs (which I am) :lol It's pretty much idiot proof, but still got a lot under the hood to tweak with...

Some Americans make me so sad.

Bush supporter?

Bush supporter?

Woah that's harsh! :lol :lol :lol

But amusing nontheless...

I originally come from Perth in Scotland, I'd expect people not to know where that is, or think it was Australia, but I'll admit I thought that Edinburgh was pretty famous as being the capital of Scotland...

My dad and my sister were up here last weekend and we went up to the castle and took similar photos to yours, only problem was that edinburgh happened to be covered in fog that day so you could only just see Princes street from the castle wall. A bit annoying, especially since the day before (saturday 19th) had been the best day of the year so far.

Cracking photos though. You can see my house in the first one, under the mighty Appleton tower!

Another Edinburger on GAF? :lol

You can just see my house in the 3rd and 4th pics - near St Stephens Church in the New Town.

We were lucky that day it was really clear those photo's don't really do the general weather justice :lol ...British Summertime just started and it was pelting it down!

The Edinburgh tracks in PGR2 rocks... I recognize som parts of the tracks from the pics.. omg wtf lol

 

[Suerte]

I need to go through to Edinburgh more often, it always really impresses me everytime I go

Been here 3 and a half years. It's great.

I think summer's over already.

When you were at the castle did you go on one of those guided tours? Where the guide tells touristy stories like how most places have a 12 o'clock gun, but the scots are too cheap to fire the gun 12 times so they have a 1 o'clock gun instead :lol

If I ever win a trillion dollars, I'm going to buy myself a castle. And a DeLorean.

How much does a castle run you in Scotland?

I'm going backpacking through europe in 2 months. I've been to Edinburgh once before and can't wait to be back there. I stayed in the Castle Rock Hostel right at the base of Edinburgh castle. Good times

Those pics just make the wait seem longer !!

Nice. This is where my family originates which is cool since it's such a beautiful city imo.

I although I've never been there, I recognize much of it from PGR2, which is kinda neat.

the best thing about edinburgh is when u go somewhere its up hill and when u go back home its still up hill
