Edinburgh in 3 hours

The Dugald Stewart Monument & The National Monument
Calton Hill, Edinburgh, Scotland
10th July 2009

It was the Friday afternoon after TCES that I went to Edinburgh
with a groggy head (we had a 3am finish the night before.. and the nights before that), an empty stomach, and 1 bar on my phone battery
i figured that i'd pick up a map from the train station
and some food when i got to Edinburgh

Andrew (who is a Southhamptonshire boy studying at Strathclyde U) said to me
"Just follow your nose"
and so he was right

I thought Edinburgh amazing
Yes, it is touristy
but the atmosphere was just .. beyond words
Even if I was alone

since i'm a sucker for old architecture, it isn't any wonder
and though i will eventually re-trace my steps in detail..
here is my first impression of Edinburgh..

ႊThe Balmoral Hotel next to the tourist information centre
i love how grand it is

Sir Walter Scott Memorial which I climbed first thing..

the view eastwards (I'm presuming)

The Melville Monument in St Andrew Square..
for the "uncrowned King of Scotland"
