Edinburgh 1
The Men of Note concert tour of Scotland started out in Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland since the 15th century. The population of the whole city area is approximately 1.4 million people, fairly small as cities go, but what a lovely place it is. We stayed at the Apex Waterloo Hotel, right in the downtown area. The first day we went on a walking tour of historic Edinburgh, ably guided by Mike, who was not only very knowledgeable, but entertaining with personality plus!

We loved that city too, steeped in history, so beautiful. We walked a lot, saw a great deal and enjoyed the local food and spirits. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a great place to wander.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Edinburgh, or maybe I did as a kid. We went to Scotland once, but I remember very little about it apart from the mountains and the rain. I'm not a fan of cities but it does look very interesting and characterful.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful old buildings! Enjoy your stay.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent shots! I'd love to see Edinburgh someday.
ReplyDeleteA friend goes to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival every year he can. He, like you, loves it. And I can see why.
ReplyDeleteI love Edinburgh - it has a good feel in the centre, the architecture's interesting, there's loads going on and, though recognisably British, it is also most definitely Scottish too! Hope you got to Calton Hill, Holyrood (the palace, not the parliament - possibly the world's ugliest public building) and, of course, the castle.
ReplyDeletelove it.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.

What a grand place to walk around and enjoy the scenery and history. Love your photos!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing area to explore, methinks!
ReplyDeleteSo much history there. Love your photos.
ReplyDeleteScenes like this really remind me how new (relatively speaking) the U.S. is.
