Scenery from Scotland

After nearly a week in Scotland, much of it in Edinburgh, I have approximately 1100 photographs. Here are a few of my favorites.

Arthur’s Seat PlaqueI took several photographs at Holyrood Park, which is home to the scalable Arthur’s Seat, where the gorse was in bloom.Holyrood Park After SunriseArthur’s Seat SunsetOvercast Holyrood Park
Spiral StaircaseUpon climbing Arthur’s Seat, I met someone who told me that the Scott Monument had steps to the top. I spent a good deal of time in the surrounding area, and I’m glad I discovered the view.Scott Monument from BelowScott Monument through ArchwayFrom Scott Monument 01From Scott Monument 02From Scott Monument 03Street Level BagpipeAerial BagpipeEdinburgh CastleMelville MonumentNational GalleryArthur’s Seat and Train StationTop Scott NightBase Scott Night

Old Course Hole 18I spent an afternoon in St. Andrews, which is world famous for golf, but also has, among other things, a castle, cathedral and historical significance to the Scottish Reformation.Martyrs MonumentCemetery and Cathedral at St. AndrewsCastle at St. Andrews Swilcan Burn Bridge

As I understand it there were only about 956 pictures taken by you on this trip - I would like to know if there is some sort of truth in blogging law?????
