The Scottish American Memorial, or Scots American War Memorial, is in West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh. It was called "The Call 1914", and it was erected in 1927 and shows a kilted infantryman looking towards Castle Rock. Behind the main statue is a frieze showing queues of men answering the call by following a kilted pipe band. The memorial was given by Scottish-Americans to honour Scots who had served in the first World War.

Lest we forget.

Bronze statue of a kilted soldier seated on a stone base, holding a rifle, with a contemplative expression looking upwards. The base has an inscription reading "THE CALL 1914 - A Tribute From Men and Women of Scottish Blood and Sympathies in the United States of America to Scotland." Below the statue are red commemorative poppy wreaths with a few small bouquets. Behind the statue, a detailed bronze relief shows a historical battle scene. The setting is partially surrounded by green bushes under a gray sky.

On the west side of the Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh is the Ross Fountain. Sculpted in the neoclassical style by Jean-Baptise Jules Klagmann and originally cast at the foundry of Antoine Durene in Sommevoire near Paris.

This remarkable sculpture has at its base, mermaids, cherubs, walrus and lion heads while at the top there are four female figures which represent science, arts, poetry and industry - a nice shot here with Edinburgh Castle in the background!

Ornate turquoise fountain with multiple tiers and sculptures, foregrounded by lavender blooms, with a towering castle on a hill in the background under a cloudy sky.

#ShandwickPlace in the early morning while even this wonderful city is still asleep - captured in color and black and white. One scenery, one alternative, two somehow completely different outcomes!

Early morning view of a deserted urban street lined with Victorian-style buildings and a prominent church tower rising in the background. The street features tram tracks and wet asphalt reflecting the soft, cloudy sky above.

Black and white photograph of an urban street scene featuring a prominent stone tower with a pointed roof at the end of a street lined with four-story buildings. The road is marked with tram tracks and zebra crossings, and there is minimal traffic. Overhead, multiple wires run across the street. The image captures an overcast sky and wet pavement, suggesting recent rain.

Usually I try to prevent to appear in my own photos but when seeing Adam Waters seven years after my last visit in #Edinburgh I had to talk to him again (he's a Metal fan and teacher by the way!) and couldn't resist posting this historical incorrect shield wall of #Braveheart (left) and a Viking-wannabe (right, me) here.

Adam's a great guy and is part of the #RoyalMile just beneath #EdinburghCastle for more than twenty years now. All money he collects is donated to children for the fight against Leukemia and it is told he raised more than 2 million pounds over the years - read a great anecdote on Adam's story here:

A man in traditional Scottish tribal costume extending his hand toward the camera. He has a blue and white painted face, wearing a fur and leather outfit with ornate accessories, including feathers and metal chains. Behind him is a stone building with a large window reflecting the street scene. A decorative shield rests against the building beside him.

Even after seeing it for the second time, you sometimes need a #potterhead do draw the conclusion that #VictoriaStreet in #Edinburgh looks quite similar to #DiagonAlley in #HarryPotter. By all means this scenery is always worth a visit and once you step down the stairs, you will definitely reach the world of #HarryPotter as you'll find the newly-created museum or #TheElephantHouse where at least some parts of the Harry Potter-universe were initially created (the original one was located near George IV bridge and burned down some time ago).

Split-view of two cobblestone streets lively with pedestrians in a historic European city. The left image features a row of aged stone buildings with ground floor businesses, including a Mexican restaurant with red outdoor seating under colorful flag bunting. The right image captures a wider street scene bustling with people, lined with various shops under a series of multicolored flags stretched across from building to building, and a notable red and orange building visible in the background.

Cobblestone street filled with people, flanked by vibrant blue and red buildings, leading to an old gothic-style structure. A row of people stands to the left, queuing outside a blue building. Multicolored flags are strung above the street.

While the publicity around #JKRowling isn't the best at the moment quite rightly, it is undoubted what she has created in terms of #HarryPotter. Once you are in #Edinburgh and manage to see #TheRoyalMile and if you're a #Potterhead (and even if you're not), this place at the #CityChambers shows the hands of JK Rowling immortalized in the ground of the city Harry's world was created in.

You'll find this place when walking through the entrance, turning left towards a small door!

Handprints set in concrete with the engraved name "J.K. Rowling 2008" beneath them. The surface is textured and appears weathered.

There are few sounds that make my flesh really crawl on this planet - but the tunes of Scottish #bagpipes is indeed something I cloud listen to for hours, being simply overjoyed and calm...

"I play the tunes for my brothers and Glen
The woods of my childhood call me again
For the colours of freedom so far I did roam
Cause I'm the piper and I coming home"

(GRAVE DIGGER, "Coming Home")

A Scottish bagpiper in traditional dress, including a tartan kilt, sporran, and feathered hat, plays bagpipes on a sunny day beside a building with classical architecture. Behind him, a shop window displays various scarves and draped mannequins. His shadow is visible on the building wall.

Roe deer walks amongst garden wildflowers.

How close do the deer come? Here's a roe deer that has been a regular visitor here at Four Oaks and is happy to explore our garden, even stopping for us to take photos.
