Edinburgh-Athens of the North

by Packerman - last update: Nov 15, 2006

Gothic building
On a sunny day Edinburgh was a wonderful city to visit, but when it was gray and cold it was a good idea to find somewhere to go inside for awhile. We took it too easy and too slow, I wish we would have done more while there. I really enjoyed listening to the Scottish accent and drinking a Starbucks coffee and visiting the Royal museum of Scotland.

 Glad you enjoyed Edinburgh. Especially liked your wide shot of Castle and view down Princes St.

 Nice photo of Edinburgh Castle. I neglected to get a good photo of the exterior and instead only came home with a few photos of the interior.
