Linlithgow Palace and Loch in Winter

The last couple of years the loch has been frozen, which must be bad news for the birdlife.

Photos From the Autumn

Found photos which I hadn't posted which were from a few months back (it's not like life is so-o-o hectic that I'd forgotten, just amnesia).


Took a walk through Inverleith Park. Bit of exercise.

And then through the Botanical Gardens. This is the Japanese Garden area (as if you didn't know).


Our cat, George, found a new place to sleep.




Couple of fun guys handing out leaflets at the Edinburgh Festival.



Edinburgh Winter Wonderland II

Christmas Eve and the city is busy with tourists everywhere. Guess the snow will make it extra special for the visitors.






The castle looks pretty impregnable in this weather.


Princes Street Gardens under a blanket of snow.

Winter Wonderland on Way to Work


It was a winter wonderland journey to work today...


...and Linlithgow Cross looked great.


but it's not often you see Edinburgh covered in so much snow.


and the roads were pretty quiet for 9am


At lunchtime I went for a walk through Greyfriars churchyard


and captured a lovely landscape across the Old Town.
