Travel Scotland 5 Last One

Scotland 5 Last One · **1 Like**

The last part of our trip was Edinburgh and seeing some of the surrounding areas.

Royal Mile Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle

Antonine Wall near Roughcastle (I have another version somewhere where I removed those powerlines but seem to have misplaced it. You get the idea . . .

)

Blackness Castle on the River Forth

The end. You can see the entire set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spotformel/sets/72157627797457309/

Gorgeous shots and some fine shooting! I enjoyed every one.

Regards!

Not to diminish your good work, but one can clearly see that the light looks amazing. Nice work.

This has been a terrific series of photos of Scotland! I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Rupert!
JMR - Thanks! I had some really good light and I have some dismally bad light. But Scotland is so beautiful I was just happy to be there regardless of the light.

Thanks for looking loco!

Mel - late getting to this section/thread, but thanks for sharing! My family and I spent 17 days (and 2,100 miles!) in the UK in August 1988, right before we rotated back to the US. Spent 4 lovely days in and around Edinburgh, and got to see the dress rehearsal for a Military Tatoo. Great, great city. Once again, thanks for sharing all of the series. Brought back some really wonderful memories.

Mel,

The 3rd and 7th are really really nice! I envy you some of your trips!

Thanks all. The problem with travling though is that it makes me want to travel more and more. And it's kind of expensive. And there's these pesky family and work obligations . . .

Great series Mel.

Most enjoyable.

My ancestors emigrated from Scotland around 1820. I've always wanted to visit

but haven't had a chance as yet.

Thanks for sharing

I missed these at the time. Wondered how you'd got on. Some very nice shots. I've not been to Blackness so its now on my list.

Terrific - the third and last ones knock me out, Mel. Very nice job.
