Misty Morning

I think we can say that Autumn has arrived.

Evening Sky

After a day of heavy rain a little glimmer of light as evening falls.

Railings

These park railings need a bit of attention.

Weekend

No posts for a few days as I was away at Mar Lodge in Deeside and lacking any internet.  So grey and miserable in Edinburgh today that I have posted a few shots from the weekend. The view towards Inverey from the accomodation.  A stream in Glenshe and an estate near Blairgowrie.

Tribute

The weather has taken a turn for the worse.  I saw this travelling Subaru memorial to Colin McRae looking all the better with a coating of rain droplets.

Greyfriars Church

How did they manage to bury people that high up?

Western Battlements

The Castle from Castle Terrace.

Austin

Transport seems to have become a bit of a theme, quite by accident,(no pun intended there).  This old Austin turns up regularly at the Gym next door.  It has impressive travel credentials.

Old Bus

Through in Glasgow for "Doors Open Day".  The old Corporation bus was being used to transport people round the venues.

Gable End

Morning shadows.  You can tell we are moving towards winter.  Just off the Grassmarket.

Castle Notice

And if you don't speak one of these languages?

Another Voiture

This one illegally parked.

Old Classic

This old piece belongs to one of our neighbours.

Poet

It's all on the stone in Greyfriars Kirkyard.

The finish of this Glasgow to Edinburgh cycling event was in Victoria park in Leith.  All sizes, ages, shapes and conveyances participating.  Choose a 50 or 100 mile route.  Plenty to fill you up when you arrived.

Merchant City

Through in Glasgow today in the Merchant City quarter.  This establishment has simply reversed the word order.

Corstorphine Doocot

All in the sign.

Castle View

Looking over Princes Street to Leith and the Forth from the castle ramparts.

Greyfriars Bobby

No comment required I think.

Grassmarket

As the year passes the shadows get longer and deeper.  The castle from and Grass market from the bottom of Candlemaker Row.

Early Morning Philosophy

The statue is in the Lawnmarket.

Festival Fireworks

The last hoorah for the festival as the final fireworks explode and the smoke drifts away to end the final performance of the festival.

On the Buses

Upstairs on a No.11 travelling up Leith Walk.

St Mary's

Two views of St Mary's Cathedral from Inverleith Park.

Pitt Street

Sunrise along Pitt Street in Leith.

Inchcolm

Inchcolm is an island in the Firth of Forth and can be reached by boat from South Queesferry. It has a very well preserved Augustinian Abbey and is part of Historic Scotland.  It still has extensive defence works from WWII.  It gives you a good view over to Edinburgh and there is plenty wildlife.   The liner is anchored off as she is too big for the sea lock in Leith Harbour.
