I paid a visit to Edinburgh Castle today, and here are some shots of Princes Street which is the main street in Edinburgh.
The gardens between Princes Street and me are Princes Gardens, and off to the right are the National Galleries and Waverly railway station. On the hill to the right are the folly, and Nelson's Column.

The next shot was taken from near Mons Meg (a big old canon). The more modern canon in the near foreground is fired every day at 1:00pm, and at the same time, a ball is dropped from Nelson's Column (see above). This historically allowed boats at sea to know what time it was.

This is looking at the west end of Princes Street over the west battlements and towards St Cuthberts church.
