The capital of Scotland - Edinburgh ! The name of Edinburgh means "The castle which situated on the hill . The city is divided into two parts by Prince Street . Further south of Prince Street is the "Old Town" which was built in 16 century . And further north is the "New Town" which was rebuilt in 18 century .
It's lovely here , you really gotta come .
*When visiting the UK , you absolutely must visit Scotland and when visit Scotland , you absolutely must visit Edinburgh.
*Botanical Garden: Edinburgh has the most impressive and huge Botanical Garden in Europe, especially the Glass House---I really love it. And it's free to get in .( you might ask me why only in Europe .... well the answer is I've only been the ones in Europe . not other parts of the world :-P )
*Edinburgh Castle : Edinburgh castle is a really nice place to visit too , it's located in the old town , end of Royal Mile (High stree) . The first time I got there in Edinburgh I used to go there three times a day or so ...cos I stayed at Castle Rock Hostel which is across the street from the castle .( the only problems of this site is it's a bit expensive to get in --:( if I am right , the entrance fee is about 6 pounds .)
*Royal Mile : High Street - is also the so called Royal Mile. This street goes from Edinburgh(Hollyroad) Palace to Edinburgh Castle. You can find a lot of shops here - coffe shops , restaurants , historical sites or ..... ( During the Edinburgh international festival season- from Aug. till Oct.1 , there are a lot of street performances here )
*Prince Street Garden : Prince Street garden is the one which divided Edinburgh into two parts - The New Town and The Old Town . The good thing is if you do some shopping on Prince Street and feel like having a break or so , you can just come here , sit on the bench and have a good rest . I often came here when I wanted to read or have a walk . There is a " the oldest flower clock " in this garden . And for golfers , you can come here to practice too . Under the bridge in this garden there is a golf field , you can often see a lot of golfers come here to kill time . Free Entry and also there are entrances everywhere .
*My memory of Edinburgh
Hmmmm , talking about what I miss the most in Edinburgh ... let's say ... The way peopel live .....
I really love how they enjoy life ... the living style :) perfect for me ...
And I miss everyone there .. cos they are the nicest people I've ever met in the world so far .
Here I have to say thank you to the cute little grandmom who helped me out while I got lost somewhere in Edinburgh 7 years ago and now I got to know there v. well ( Of course ... if I still don't know then I'm really too dumb , I've lived there long enough ..)

Hi Kiely , There is so much to see in the world but difinately Scotland . Scotland is a good place to meet very nice and generous people , especially if they are Scottish . So I do hope that you have enjoyed your travel at Scotland and that you've liked the people you've met at Kitchener House .
I wish all the best for you and keep happy all the time . Perhaps sometimes you will visit Germany and we will meet again . C U .

Und fuehr mich herum im Gestrueppdeines Denkens und seeh zu wie ich mich verhak. Verbring dann den Tag mit dem Filen deines Naegel Kauf' Dir einen Ofen aus Glas heize ihn lin
und wirf mich hinein in das Feuer deines Zornes und sich zu wie ich's ertrag. Verbring dann den Tag mit dem Reiben Deiner Augen . Aber warte nicht warte nicht Zu lang .

You know that you are alwasy welcome in my place in Portugal !

Guten Tag , Kiely ! Ich habe hier in Schottland . Sorry I've had such agreat time here in Scotland . Not only because of the nice and not very hard work , which actually was the reason for me to come here , but also because of the nice people I met here in Kitchener House . Among them , you were the one who I spent most of my time with . We did a lot of things together nearly everyday : Scottish Royal Museum , Tattoo , Three Sisters , Sightseeing , cinemas , etc . You also shared a lot of thoughts with me , so I got to know you very well .
You're a very special person and I hope you'll visit me when you come to Germany .
Bye bye to you .
Says your brother and friend , Mickey Blue Eyes .
