Edinburgh Photos
The view in the morning from Kristen's flat!



Towel warmer, anyone?

First time on a double-decker bus!




















Blue... blue... ^_^



















St. Giles Cathedral!








I really loved the chandeliers in this place.





























This window was modern, but totally beautiful.


The Scottish mile is .1 miles more than the American!



Can you see it?

Edinburgh castle!




The view--just like Piazzale Michelangelo you
can see a whole lot of the city from up here!






Side view of awesome.
Modern building behind medieval castle!


Around the courtyard of the castle.

Courtyard...




A full view of the courtyard.




Close-up of the entrance of the castle!



Moat?



If you take off one of the 'o's,' you get 'dragon.' ^_^

I had to take a picture because of the village of
Caledonia back home!








Famous guy's structure in his memory.
I forget his name, and there are close-ups later on!


So many guys with bagpipes!
I loved it!




A different view of the castle.








Awesome, huge park in the middle of Edinburgh!





















A war monument on the edge of the park.


To the museum! No pictures, unfortunately.
It was free, and very cool!

Lunch at a tea house! This entire menu is all different types of tea.

And this is the other side, still tea! Wow!

My tea! Jasmine Chun Hao.
The timer is there to tell me when it is done setting.















All those different colored stones have quotes on them!

This is right next to the parliament building.


Arthur's seat! We are off to climb it!



The queen's residence in Edinburgh.
Behind closed doors. ;)












Views from breaks going up Arthur's Seat!

No real easy way to take pics. My camera skills are lacking...








Sherlock anyone? It was busy, so we did not go in...

Though this is Scotland, 'Neilson' is present!

Unfortunately, not all my night pictures turned out great.
I enjoy the ones that did, though!
