lady_of_clunnI know I've taken my sweet time - but here it finally is: some Edinburgh picspam!
I don't have much, yet, because I've been more concerned with non-touristic, non-scenic errands and places so far, but I hope you like what's there.
Home Sweet Home - my bank needed to know the year of construction for our contents insurance and it turns out to be 1749/1750!
You thought the Olympics are in London? Well, the football is right here.
The shoddy backside ;)
The castle as seen from Princes Street, the New Town's main shopping street.
Tani's School.
One of the quaint little museums on Canongate.
The old and new Parliament building side by side.
Entrance to Holyrood Palace, just across from the Parliament.
There was supposed to be more, but the upload function dropped the ball on me.
Will edit later!!

Date: 2012-07-31 09:29 am (UTC)You should see the newer residential areas - the UK is a cookie cutter house haven! I think it started with the industrial revolution and the need to accommodate all those miners and textile mill workers. Look at where Severus Snape is supposed to be from:

Date: 2012-07-31 09:44 am (UTC)That's what I was thinking! Especially since a lot of tourists walk up to the Royal Mile, walk along it to the castle and then take this road down back to the New Town. They really should have invested into some more paint.

But I guess that there are loads of other countries that you would like to see first :)

Date: 2012-08-02 08:46 pm (UTC)Having been here before for the meetup helped so much!
How are you doing with your wedding preparations? I thought of you yesterday when I saw white on white striped stockings on eBay :)

Date: 2012-08-03 03:21 am (UTC)Good, thank you! Aww ♥ I had my hair trial last week and my make up trial yesterday, when I also had my eyebrows done (shit me did that hurt!), I've got one more eyebrow appointment due as well as my nails, my bridesmaids are booked in for their final fittings and I have one more wedding dress fitting to go! Need to meet with the vicar, reception, florist and balloon-ist to clarify details as well as have our pre-wedding shoot with our photographer :) Oh, and need to sort out Kai's ring!
It's just the little details now, but there are so many and so little time D: None of the men have started their speeches either! That's getting me panicky as I had a dream where they all forgot and ended up winging it!
It's so close now and we're so excited! :D But time really is of the essence! ♥
