Union Canal

Last weekend, Alette, Japhur and I went for a walk along part of the Union Canal. You can see all the pics by clicking on the picture to your left. As you can see, it was a beautiful, sunny day and everyone and their dogs were out (literally). There's actually a number of different canals that would allow us to boat from Edinburgh to Glasgow and back. We might explore this option further, or optionally, bike portions of the path.

Winter in Edinburgh

Ok, it appears that my bold predictions of Spring were a little premature. It was a beautiful snowy day on Monday, and the snow has actually stayed; long enough for us to take some pictures (click on the snowman photo to see our album).

It's sunny today, though still dropping below zero overnight (would be great for maple syrup if they had the right trees here!)

Spring Walk to Calton Hill

On Saturday, the three of us took a walk around Calton Hill in downtown Edinburgh. Faithful readers will recall our previous visit to this hill for the Torchlight Procession. This time though, we were able to take advantage of a beautiful (dare I say Spring?) day to get outside, and to see some great views of the city.

The picture above is of some snowdrops; a sure sign of Spring in the city. Clicking on the photo will take you to other photos from our day out and about.
