Trip to Edinburgh

I recently travelled to Edinburgh to see a special exhibition on Renaissance drawings and pictures.

These are some pictures of my day trip.

As soon as I exited the train station, I saw this enormous Victorian Gothic monument to Sir Walter Scott. 

Sir Walter Scott.

This is the National Galleries of Scotland.
It is in “The Mound” in central Edinburgh.
I visited the European art galleries.

Gardens of “The Mound”. Beautiful spot. 

Monument to 18th-century Scottish poet Allan Ramsay in West Princes Street Gardens.
The statue overlooks the gardens and Edinburgh Castle in the background.

The iconic Edinburgh Castle.

I walked past these burial grounds kirkyard.
Charming, like most of Edinburgh’s Old Town.


The King’s Gallery in Edinburgh.

The Palace of Holyroodhouse.
I popped into this historic palace to see some Dutch masters.

  4. The Palace of Holyroodhouse, for royals of course, is the nicest structure to look at because the colour of the walls is lighter. Dark walls are not as suitable in a wet or cool climate.
