Long-Awaited Edinburgh Picspam

[lady_of_clunn]

I 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!!

So beautiful! Goodness!

No wonder people make fun of the cookie cutter houses over here.

Thank you!

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:
