Photos: Edinburgh, Scotland Day 3 (Part 2)



I was lucky to get a nice break in the weather and get some shots of Edinburgh in the sunshine! :D










That is St. Giles Cathedral, which is the main, big cathedral in Edinburgh. And I got to take pictures inside. :D

What a stunning space with the light streaming through the stained-glass windows.

















^REALLY SCOTTISH.


I took another stop on my Harry Potter Pilgrimage, to the Elephant House, a cafe where JK did some of her early writing. They say 'birthplace', but it is said that she came up with the actual concept while on a train. Still, the view of Edinburgh castle is inspiring enough to make anyone want to write about a boarding school full of witches and wizards. :D

I ate some inspiring food... but I didn't end up writing a novel. Or series of novels.


That's the legendary view. Pretty sweet. :D   ^




<The local costume shop... I like that Gollum is the DJ for 'Fellowship of the Funk'.




These guys took their cash register out of their store and were shaking about for some unknown reason... I took a picture because I am weird. And also a tourist.

Next up: Edinburgh, Scotland Day 4

  1. I like the Gothic cathedral shots especially - the one with the deep blue vault!

  2. Oh me too! Definitely, some of my better shots from Scotland. I am glad I paid the 2 pounds to take pictures in St. Giles, it was well worth it! :D
