Photos: Edinburgh, Scotland Day 4

The last morning before I took the train home. I took some shots of the apartment I stayed in. It was too big for me, and made me feel a bit homesick, but it was a great place to stay.







I really didn't like the stairwell, because there was no light switch, so at night I had to fumble with my keys in the dark. And the door was really creaky, so it scared me a lot. O.o



Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed Edinburgh, Scotland! I know I did!

I am going to take a break from posting trip pictures to post some of my FanExpo stuff while it is still recent. But after that, we're back to London (Day 5) and then on to Folkestone!

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.
