Edinburgh- St Giles On The Royal Mile

Edinburgh, Scotland

Even though we spent most of our Scotland visit on the Isle Of Skye and in the highlands, we spent the last few days in Edinburgh. Our hotel was in "Old Town" which I highly recommend since you can walk to almost anywhere in the historic section of Edinburgh. This image shows St Giles on the left and my son Paul (rust colored jacket) his wife Heather( pink coat) and my grandsons, Owen( the taller one) and Wyatt walking up the Royal Mile. Owen is five years old and Wyatt is 3 years old and they did an amazing job of hanging in there for this trip. I was attempting to combine a family photo with a scenic capture of Edinburgh.

An excellent wide view with so much information, all the detail and lighting.

A BEAUTIFUL well composed street-scene and heritage buildings.

You got the good contrast of light, with your family and the important architecture in the light, and the unimportant part in the shade. Paul could be observing what was worth a shot. The two little boys were behaving very well, holding on to their mother's hands. The 3 years old appeared a little tired already, but still walking. Hope they enjoyed the trip as much as the adults did. ~VVVVV~

Wonderful day and picture. A great family adventure.
Me and my friends will be visiting Edinburgh near the end of May.
We'll be visiting England and then three days in Paris.

I found St Giles to be so beautiful on the inside. Edinburgh was a fabulous city to explore. Our next visit I hope to head up north like you did. Looks like you had a beautiful day to enjoy your surroundings. V
