From Edinburgh to Glasgow

While Edinburgh is a great city and has a lot to offer, Glasgow will always have a soft spot for me and I like the more rough and edgy character of Glasgow.

After spending the morning in Edinburgh it was time to go to Glasgow for a few hours before heading back to London in the evening.

Glasgow is all about the people, even more so than Edinburgh, since it's a bit more grey as a city and has less sights to offer but it's nonetheless a great place to visit.

Of People in Edinburgh

Another day in Edinburgh but this time it was more walking around the city and exploring some parts I haven't been to before.

With the Edinburgh Film Festival being on, I even came across a premiere and some paparazzi and figured I might as well get a photo even if I don't know the guy.

While I took photos of architecture and some landscapes, I found that the majority of the ones I liked were photos of people.

One of the great things of summer in Scotland is that it's daylight till later in the evening, unlike in Asia where someone turns the lights off and it's dark at 18:00 every day.
Still, sometimes you get nice photos in the dark.

Edinburgh Views

It's good to take a break and get out of London, there is no better place to do so than Scotland. Edinburgh especially is great with plenty to see and do.

You can go wandering around the old town, go shopping in new town, enjoy a pint or wee dram at one of the many nice pubs or go hiking and see some spectacular views from Holyrood Park.

In the evening you can relax and enjoy a bit of sunshine in the Princess Street gardens. It was a great break from London and nice to be back in Scotland.

Day 373 - More from Edinburgh

It was another nice and sunny day in Edinburgh but I decided to take it a bit easy and enjoy the city more than just take photos.

Day 372 - A Sunny Day in Edinburgh

It was a great start to my stay in Edinburgh, it was sunny and warm so very pleasant to walk around and be outside.

A Day in Edinburgh

What do you do if you fancy a whiskey and would like the real deal? Well, you take the evening train from London to Glasgow on a Friday and enjoy a proper whiskey in Scotland and get the ambience to go with it.
While there it is a good idea to stick around an also visit Edinburgh the next day so this is a series from my visit there.
Since this was an impromptu visit, I did not pack properly and only had my usual day to day things with me but the GXR A12-M with Nokon and Heliar 15mm lens was there and my Nexus 7, unfortunately all without a way to charge.
