the Royal Mile : part 3...

Happy, happy Friday my lovelies... :)

We're on the final leg of our wee tour of the Royal Mile... was that a wee sigh of relief I heard from some of you!? Hehe... ;) Anyhoo, after the fun of the Fringe all we need to do is wander up to the fabulous Edinburgh castle, dodge a few more tourist trap shops along the way and take in some of the more visit worthy attractions such as The Witchery, Camera Obscura and The Scottish Whisky Experience... I definitely recommend leaving the whisky tasting til the end as a wee tipple or two before taking on Camera Obscura's optical illusions might not be such a great idea! Enjoy... :)

The bus stops here. I love this Castle Antiques sign... :) The Tolbooth Kirk... now The Hub events venue. Flying the flags. The lone piper... !? The Witchery... the most stunning Gothic hotel and restaurant I will ever see! Scots do like to drink... especially whisky! Having a wee bit of fun with mirrors outside Camera Obscura. Lots of patriotic Scots blue on the Castle Hill. A true Scotsman... !? Robert the Bruce and William Wallace... guarding Edinburgh castle's gate. NEMO : ME : IMPUNE : LACESSIT The end... :)

Well my lovelies, I do hope you enjoyed this wee tour... and maybe I've even persuaded you to make a wee trip over here some time!? I know you will love it, Edinburgh is such a beautiful and inspiring city... :)

Now I'm off to get myself organised... I have a bunch of exciting things I'm working just now, which I will be able to tell you about very soon, but with the chaos that has been going on here lately I feel like I'm playing catch up just a wee bit too much. I need to get on top of things and get organised with lists, an organised calendar and a damn good tidy up wouldn't go amiss either... both my studio and computer desk are drowning in piles of chaos! Right then I had best get to it...

I hope you all have an amazing weekend,
Emma, x

  2. Hi Emma, loving your trip of Edinburgh! Me & the hubbie had a long weekend up there last year and it really is the most beautiful city. Also we found the best fudge shop ever; a cute little shop tucked down one of those clsssic little back streets - scrumptious was an understatement :) Hope you manage to get all your jobs done :) have a lovely bank holiday weekend x

  3. Emma, I absolutely loved seeing every bit of the Mile. Years after my visit to Edinburgh, I still remember a delicious fish soup dinner at a tiny little restaurant down a narrow road off the Royal Mile. Wish I could remember its name as well as I remember how good the soup (more of a stew, actually) was.

    Best wishes on clearing the chaos...something I never quite manage to accomplish myself. xo

  6. Your tour has definitely inspired me to add Edinburgh to my list of places to visit. It doesn't hurt that I love a man in a kilt too.
