I need a day/night in Edinburgh soon!

I haven't lived there for over 12 years but it still feels like going home!

Cool picture

About 6 years ago use to work across in edinburgh on a regular basis. Could see the castle from our window but after a while you don't give it a second look. Was across a few months ago & makes you realise what's on your back door. What a landmark for a city to have

AK40DJ50 · 7 April 2011, 07:19 AM

Great pic, Johny. Was back there with the family last summer on our Scottish tour and I love the Castle. My wife liked the shopping on Princes St. as well.

Great view........

Latrodectus · 7 April 2011, 07:51 AM

Very nice...I visited many years ago...and I liked it!

Johny · 7 April 2011, 07:57 AM

thank you for all the nice replies. i can take no credit for the pic it was taken by my pal danny mcgurk, he sent it via his phone. i think it was a gentle reminder to me to renew my subscription to Historic Scotland which i had already done the other evening. johny

Sorry John, but I'll be the one to ask...what the hell is the Firth of Forth?

Amazing shot by the way.

It's official, I have to go there.

Jan Davis · 7 April 2011, 10:30 AM

That's one old castle, before the bronze age I read.

toph · 7 April 2011, 10:33 AM

Andad · 7 April 2011, 03:19 PM

Errrm... There was a fortification on that sight back then. It's like the USS Enterprise, though, and has had a few regenerations since then!

witch watch · 8 April 2011, 02:06 AM

Not been through 'Auld Reekie' for awhile now must make a point of making the journey sometime soon even if it's only for a wee poke roon Hamilton & Inches.

Oh and for the record yes the view is stunning from the Castle on a nice clear day as the pic shows but you'd be surprised just how small it is inside it.....oh and make sure you are there before 1 in the afternoon
