Buildings at the older part of the city
When we first visited Edinburgh, we drove from Manchester in a rented car. The journey took about 8 hours. As we entered the city, the first view that struck us was the ancient architecture and the castles up in the hill. My first impression of this part of Edinburgh has remained so vivid that it is always one of my favourite cities. It is a modern city but in the older part of the city most of the ancient building, castles and walls are still preserved and this gives the city a unique blend of new and old. Unfortunately i was not having a digital camera then.
When i visited Edinburgh the second time five years later, i was there for some special purpose and so did not go round the city much so the photos put up are confined to certain place and activity only.
