Even More Edinburgh: Calton Hill

I had the most free time in Edinburgh - hence the number of pictures from Edinburgh.  These are the last bit.  It is of a very very lovely part.  Another free attraction that turned out to be one of the best parts of the trip.  Really worth spending an afternoon. I found it just randomly wandering around . . .

It is a big park

Cool door

Steps into the park

Big tower!

Cool monument thing

House!

Nice view of the city

Nice big strolly roads

Pretty flowers to add to the walk

Another nice view

Coming upon the tower

Even more views

An observatory!

A greek . . . ruin . . .

Still more views

Look mountains in this view!

And random bonus pictures!

Haggis chips are a must, skip the irn bru . . . unless you like bubble gum sweat

Flap Jack - the Scottish kind not the delicious southern pancake - though it is delicious

Fun packaging . . . but just a chocolate bar . . .

It was a great trip.  Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
