So now I can share with you the impressive views that can be seen from Edinburgh Castle:

I saw this very interesting photograph in the museum of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards which is inside Edinburgh Castle. I couldn’t resist trying to get a photo of it and you can probably see that I have managed to get my own reflection in the glass too.

All I can say about the photo is rather him than me!!!

Calm in the Face of Danger

I enjoyed seeing the castle again, although I was not so keen on queuing for 40 minutes to get tickets!  But then I did get in free due to my English Heritage membership, so I can’t complain too much.
