Bannerman's

A popular music bar in the Cowgate.  http://www.bannermanslive.co.uk/

Jeffrey Street

Jeffrey Street curves it's way uphill to intersect with the High Street.  Seen from below in East Market Street complete with the retaining wall.

Edinburgh Castle

This is a cropped view from Waterloo Place.

Mons Meg

An original weapon of mass destruction.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mons_Meg

Chimneys

All those chimneys and not one reeking. From the castle battlements looking north.

The Great Hall

Well a window in the Great Hall.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_Castle#Great_Hall

David's Tower, The Palace.

The "Honours of Scotland" are on display and the link should lead to a video of the Palace interior.

Castle Entrance

Looking down the Esplanade to the High Street.  Summer almost seems to have arrived and the next few posts will be of the Castle. http://www.edinburghcastle.gov.uk/explore-the-castle/about-the-castle

Debenhams

On Princes Street, one of the older facades.

International Rescue

Well attempted at least.  The staff and clientele of Bon Papillion in Howe Street used anything at hand in an attempt to extricate a green cockatoo (or some such escaped exotic bird) from  under the car.  The creature was spotted by two young American ladies but the bird didn't seem to realise that all the efforts were in it's best interest.  It was still at large when I left.

Gogar Junction

One of Edinburgh's numerous bottlenecks and a thoroughly rotten day to boot.

Backcourt

Many of the buildings in the Royal Mile were replaced with flats.  Sometimes the attempt to blend into the old street are passable.  This backcourt has more than a hat tip to the old tradition of the external stair.

Double Rainbow

Ferry Road, Leith.

Castle Post

When things get desperate they throw the pillar box at the attacking forces.
