I pass the castle almost every single day, sometimes I just don’t register… she is always there.
at night, she is illuminated, sometimes she changes colour, tonight she was a bonny shade of red… here she is in all her clory

In 2006 the Cow parade festival visited Edinburgh, you can still see some of the fiber-glass cows dotted around the city. This fella can be found at the corner or Lothian Road and Shandwick place. However, he has a new clothes, I can only assume he is dressed up for the Rugby World Cup!

Please leave Greyfriars Bobby’s wee nose alone, it isn’t tradition to rub the nose on this statue and I have no idea where this ‘tradition’ started. No it won’t bring you any luck, you will just irritate the locals, Despite several paint (nose) jobs people still rub the poor wee dugs nose
Greyfriars Bobby’s wee nose
Someone has put up a wee note, asking ‘please don’t touch my nose, love Bobby’
Greyfriars Bobby was a wee Skye terrier, legend has it after his owner John Grey died and burried in Greyfriars kirkyard, this loyal wee dug spent the rest of his life at his masters grave, a whole fourteen years.
So, yes…. please don’t rub Greyfriars Bobby’s wee nose, please! 🙂
I took a wee wander down the beach tonight, I was treated to a beautiful sunset, so many lovely colours… Nice end to the day
Portobello Sunset
Scottish Summer time, which means its probably raining.
Edinburgh has a nice beach only a few miles from the city centre. it’s nice to sit on a groyne, listen/watch the waves, or just sit with a book.
