The Lovely City of Edinburgh


I don't know why but Edinburgh seems to call out to me every time I set foot there...
The antique monuments, the dreamy castle, the ancient architecture with a modern touch. Everything (except for the price) about just seem so out of a dream!
My first trip there was short but memorable as the sunset view of the whole city (the city is located located in some what of a valley) as we drove to its central was spectacular! However, everything magnificent was eaten by the darkness as soon as night falls...
I managed to make up for the lack of my first visit on a ONE DAY tour trip organised by the Student Union Connect!

 The place where it all started and ended, the same place my family and I lodged in 2 years ago!

Most of the photos are from the museums in the castle! Scotland have a strong military background, courageous soldiers who sacrificed for their country are immortalised here. I also managed to witness the Scottish sceptre and the crown, still shiny and enchanted after many centuries! Unfortunately no photos allowed for that.
And so my trip ends here! Wonderful place! I' ll definitely be back one day!
