I do walking tours in Edinburgh. I sometimes take low quality photos and share them. Sometimes I don't.
The next stop announcements on Lothian buses are getting louder. Even the arsehole watching YouTube with no headphones is tutting at it.

Went to the willow tea rooms for a wee afternoon tea this week. Place was decked out in Charles Rennie Mackintosh style furniture. I remember when that place was a starbucks. Much better now. Obviously, I took no photos of that, but here's the view from their window :)

Was working down in Dean Village yesterday. It's always a treat to walk down there. It's 10 mins from the city centre, and it feels like a different world. I took these pics from the wee bridge over the water of leith.

Took a wee walk around Arthur's Seat yesterday. Been a thousand times. It's always beautiful. Last night was brilliant. So lucky to live here in #Edinburgh

Seen this beauty down on the Water of Leith walkway this evening. Taking in the last wee bit of sun of the day and standing proudly next to a pile of shite in the water.

Everyone's favourite resident of Ramsay Garden, #Edinburgh. Waiting patiently to get indoors. It looks nice and sunny but it's actually freezing here today.
This #cat was the highlight of today's tour according to my guests.

Taken while gasping for air at the top of Jacobs Ladder, #edinburgh. Brilliant view across to the old town and the castle away in the distance. I like how different edinburgh looks from every angle

The Pentland Hills looked amazing today. Its been pretty cold and the snow makes them look even better than usual. That's where we get our water supply in #Edinburgh. I love the clouds above them aswell. Edinburgh, you're beautiful.

Snapped this on my walking tour yesterday.
Sir John Steell's brilliant sculpture of Sir Walter Scott. This was carved out of a 30 ton block of Carrara marble and took him 6 years to finish!
I assume cos it was difficult, not cos he was a massive procrastinator.

The Scottish National Portrait Gallery always looks amazing over Christmas.
Was in the Great Hall this afternoon and took these pics.
You can spot statues and busts of some of the best writers in Scottish history hiding behind the tinsel.

Another pic I like from the other night. St giles looking cool with the tower lit up. The statue of charles the 2nd lit from the other side and a motorbike, oh I just realised why it's cool. Its the bike.

Charles II statue looking pretty awesome last night.
This is the oldest statue in #Edinburgh, erected in 1685.
The statue depicts Charles in Roman style garb and carrying a baton. In reality of course he looked exactly like Captain Hook.

Check out this wee painted stone I was given today. I love it. Happy St Andrews day :)
The Saltire, or St Andrew’s Cross, is Scotland’s national flag and one of the oldest in Europe. Its origins date back to a legendary battle in 832 AD.

The New Gatehouse of #Edinburgh castle. Built in 1887
This is Scots baronial style #architecture at its finest:
Asymmetry
Protruding turrets
Crenellations (castly bits)
Corbie steps. (crow steps)
Decorative corbling (the fancy bits under the turrets)
Looks great in the mid-morning sun.

St Margaret's Chapel looking incredible with a rare blue sky behind it.
This is the oldest building in Edinburgh. Built around 1130 by King David I, and named in honour of his mammy, queen Margaret. He was a good lad.

The spire of the Tron Kirk is undergoing essential repairs at the moment.
The kirk was opened in 1641 but was badly damaged in the Great Edinburgh Fire of 1824. Spire, spire, pants on fire.
The spire was built in 1828 by R&R Dickson, two brothers from Edinburgh.
