    Edinburgh October Pictures #6

    Part Six.

    One of the stunning views from the Castle.



    And another one.



    The Battery guns.



    Arthur's Seat from the Esplanade.



    Looking down the High St towards the Tron Kirk.



    The imaginative walkway that runs between the St James and Omni Centres.



    More to come!

    Arthur's Seat from the Esplanade.


    We climbed that and let me tell you, it's a lot taller than it looks! Stunning views from the top though.

    Edinburgh October Pictures #7

    Part Seven.

    Calton Hill from the St James Centre.



    Looking up at the footbridge from the Omni Centre.



    Elegant church spire in Broughton St.



    Closer view.



    Sorry - couldn't resist a third shot!



    Shot of Calton Hill from Broughton St - you can see "Edinburgh's Disgrace" at the left.



    That church spire again! Bit this time with the Castle dominating the skyline behind.



    More to come!
