Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling, Scotland (15-21 August, 2006)
I had days to kill in the UK, so off I went to

Festival mob at Edinburgh

The beautiful St. Giles Cathedral or the High Kirk of Edinburgh on the Royal Mile.

The Castle





Beautiful stained-glass window in the oldest building in all of Edinburgh - St. Margaret's Chapel, a tiny Norman building which has been intact for more than 900 years!


The Scottish National Parliament. Cool looking but at a whopping 400 million pounds, ten times its original estimate!

Palace of Holyroodhouse

A tarn en route to Arthur's Seat

Arthur's Seat. No connection with the legendary King Arthur!

Glasgow Cathedral

The crypt where Glasgow University was founded

The adjacent Neoclassical ruins of the Necropolis, a crumbling but beautiful cemetery.


George Square, Glasgow

Of course, can anyone go to Scotland and not have Haggis (in my case, vegetarian) and IRN-BRU?

(MacKintosh) Willow Tea Room on Argyll St.

At Stirling Castle

Apparently they discovered a piece of wall with this ugly-colored coat intact and so they spoiled the look of the castle by painting it.
