I took a train into Edinburgh on Tuesday ( empty train almost) for a little Christmas shopping and wee wander about. I had not been in Edinburgh since early March. I had a useful shop and walk through the Gardens. I love Edinburgh as a city, it is where I was born and lived until my mid twenties. A few pictures
Is that Wojtek the Bear the Polish Army WW2 that lived at Edinburgh Zoo? I have a vague momeory of sending a £10 to the statue appeal many years back.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed Mark and pretty splendid it looks too. Your £10 has gone to help a great memorial.
DeleteA beautiful city - very civilized .
ReplyDeleteTotally agree there.
DeleteThe Wojtek story is fabulous.
Indeed; Edinburgh is one of my favorite cities. I've managed to visit it 4 times.
ReplyDeleteMy Dad lives in Dalgety Bay so I can definitely agree with you re. the delights of Edinburgh.. lovely city... good pubs, fine architecture, and nice open vistas...
