The Scots Love A Good Statue ...
Posted by Fiona Knightley on September 29, 2022
Edinburgh loves a good statue, celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee florally, the Ross Fountain in Princes Street Gardens, a view of Edinburgh Castle, Fleshmarket Close and our accommodations - above 2 pubs!
Edinburgh never met a statue or monument it didn’t like, unless it was of a woman. They have more statues dedicated to animals than women! There are monuments literally on every corner and so many I could not find a number, not even a ballpark figure. I have no affinity for Livingstone, just enjoyed the seagull pooping on him.
Floral tribute to Her Majesty in Princes Street Garden. And yes, the clock actually works!
The Ross Fountain - donated by a gun manufacturer.
As close as I got to Edinburgh Castle - damn tourists. 😆
This was one of the wider closes off the Royal Mile. All space is valuable.
Where we stayed in Edinburgh; right in the thick of it
. A bit noisy at 4am with all the stag and hen parties in the street below, but what do you expect when there is a pub every storefront ...
