The next day we climbed up Arthur’s Seat, a volcanic hill that is part of Holyrood Park. Click any of the pictures below to see scenes of our ascent full sized (you may need to click the post title first for this to work if you’re seeing this in email or on social media).
Where we went we say lots of the grand Edinburgh architecture (see below) – even the decrepit premises betrayed the elegance of their former occupants. Click any of the pictures below to see them bigger (if viewing in email or social media you may need to click the post title first to see on the web site).
The immense Palais de Justice, a building that looks like something out of Gormenghast, has been undergoing renovation for some time. We took an elevator from Rue des Minimes up to the level of the Palace, took a quick look and walked out onto the Place Poelaert which gives a tremendous view across rooftops of the area below. Click any picture to see them all full sized (you may need to click the post title, above, first if you’re seeing this in an email).
From Whitehall we made it back to Trafalgar Square and passed over the Golden Jubilee Bridges back to Waterloo. Another 10-mile walk completed.
The skyline of the City and the Square Mile has changed since my last visit.
Back in the Financial District office after a 2 year absence…
