Edinburgh


A beautiful wonderful amazing part of Scotland :D

I got off at Waverley railway station and walked. Everytime I go to a place I get myself a map, they are usually around the railway station and for a pound. I couldn’t find one and thought to get one later from any shop.

My breath was taken away by their beautiful mountains and hills. The brown, the black, the green, the blue … amazing.

As soon as you walk around, first thing that sticks to your mind is the music, their Scottish music being played everywhere constantly. People on the street, shops and restaurants.

It is a historic place, I went to museums, Edinburgh castle, the Scott monument, climbed a hill, took a tour, etc. The most amount of walking I have done in my life, I am feeling the aftermath already :P but it was worth it.

I got lost because I didn’t have a map but then I got one and found the light at the end of the tunnel :P

If you are one of those who come to UK frequently but always go to a single spot, London for example, you are missing a lot! UK is filled with interesting and amazing places to go and they are only a train trip away.

I’m in LOVE with the Scottish accent. Though I need to read their lips and listen hard to make out what they are trying to say :P

“Please taaake yourrrr rucksack off and ‘old it in yerr ‘and”

I’m not sure if he said rucksack, backsack :P elmohim, I need to take it and hold it in my hand for walking inside the museum :P

The way they pronounce their “R’s”, I guess that it is the fascinating part and they speak on the low level. And Scots have their own language too, Gaelic.

Someone was asking me where I was from and then started asking me where I went and where to go, most of what he was saying I could not understand, I opted to a random select of Yes/No answers :P but I could listen to them talk all day ;)

I’ll be posting my pictures soon but they don’t do the place any justice at all.

    I thought their accent is rough and hug as if coming out of a cave not a mouth :P

    you should visit more places in UK, I’m sure even tiny villages would be interesting ; )
