Edinburgh, Scotland is a Special Spot

Greetings,

Edinburgh, Scotland is a cool spot and you’ll realize it the minute your eyes connect with old town for the first time. It’s like I’m in a weird time warp but I still get 3G; it’s confusing. The Scots I’ve met so far are all very gregarious and despite the weather being weak for 78% of the time I’ve been here; still love it and think you will too. It has a special feel about it that I can’t describe but I’m drawn to and know this isn’t my last time in this storied city…

The Old Town is simply incredible and I’m mesmerized by it. Edinburgh Castle sits majestically on top of the hill and at the other end of the Royal Mile is the Royal Palace which I have to say was seriously underwhelming but whatever. I wish the weather was more cooperative but I did make the most of the little sunlight I saw while spending my time here in Scotland.

When the sun did come out one morning; I snapped these shots around the city before heading to Duddingston Golf Club and playing a round that you can read about here. The photos you see from a hill are actually taken on Arthur’s Seat which is an extinct volcano with great sights of the city. My cool cab driver John asked if I was in a rush to which I replied no and he showed me around.  I’d love to stay longer but have concluded I’ll return when the weather is more welcoming…

I hope you enjoy these photos and they give you an idea of what it’s like being in and around old town…

Tips hat,
