Behind the Facade
The fronts of buildings on the High Street are often not very large but many on the south side extend all the way down the hill to a foundation on the Cowgate, often in stages like this and are really very large.

One o clock Gun
Up at the castle today. Just a bit late for the 21 gun salute for the Queen's official birthday. Hence the three artillery pieces instead of one. Tam the "gun" died in 2005 and the current incumbent is a lady who replaced the replacement. See article.

Nelson's Monument
The big stone telescope started the day basking in the sunshine and then the effect of the North Sea kicked in. It got grey and cold but not quite as far as the haar. It has now gone back to sunshine late afternoon.
