Ancient castle perched atop a large hill, surrounded by lush greenery, under a blue sky with wispy clouds. The stone structure features multiple towers and windows, with a rugged cliff base visible.

Located in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge neighborhood, Circus Lane is a charming cobblestone street. The street is lined with several Georgian and Victorian-style mews houses, many of which feature colorful doors and flower boxes.

The area of Circus Lane is mostly residential and could once be considered a hidden gem. However, in recent years Circus Lane has gained popularity with photographers and Instagrammers as it is a perfect place for photos that capture the historic charm of #Edinburgh.

A man with a beard, wearing a gray knitted hat and a tweed jacket, sits on a metal folding chair against a rocky background while playing a wooden flute. He wears black pants and casual shoes, and a dark cap is placed upside down on the ground in front of him, likely for collecting tips. Beside him, a backpack and a yellow cloth are visible on the pavement.

A narrow river runs through a lush, green landscape with an array of historic stone buildings with varying architectural styles on either bank. The foreground shows the river edged by stone walls, beneath which vegetation grows. On the left bank, a Tudor-style building with black and white timber framing rises among other older stone structures. In the background, taller buildings extend up a hill, leading to a visible castle-like structure at the top under a cloudy sky.

Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn…“
(Robert Burns)

Narrow dirt pathway flanked by aged, deteriorating crypts and tombstones under a cloudy sky in a historic cemetery. The path is bordered by stone structures and leafy trees, leading towards a round, tower-like stone edifice on the right. The scene is cast in a sepia tone, enhancing the somber, antique atmosphere of the setting.

Hey Hugin, where is Munin?

"And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!"

(Edgar Allan Poe, "The #Raven")

Black crow standing on a weathered wooden bench topped with barbed wire, with a verdant park and metal fence in the background.

Dean Village in #Edinburgh is always worth a visit - and even if you look around, there are plenty of sceneries worth painting (and dying for). This is yet another one!

Stone building with arched ground-level openings beside a calm river, surrounded by dense green foliage. Gothic-style towers peek above the tree line in the background.

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!

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.

Located in the bustling city centre, the #VennelViewpoint offers a stunning panoramic view of the entire city. From the top of this viewpoint, you can see the city’s famous skyline and the iconic landmarks that make #Edinburgh so special.

The Vennel Viewpoint is situated on the #RoyalMile, the historic street connecting #EdinburghCastle to the Palace of #Holyroodhouse. This viewpoint gives you a birds-eye view of the city and its iconic sites, including Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, the Scott Monument, and the National Museum of Scotland. You can also see the beautiful old buildings of the city, including St. Giles’ Cathedral and the Royal Mile itself.

Narrow cobblestone street lined with historic stone buildings leading to a large castle on a hill under a cloudy sky. Green foliage on the left, metal railing along the descending path, and scattered leaves on the ground.

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, the church, Greyfriars Kirk, was founded in 1620 as the first church to be built in post-reformation Scotland.

It is in this famed graveyard that you will find Tom Riddell, William McGonagall and a certain Robert Potter- the inspiration for some of J. K. Rowling's most famous Harry Potter characters. Rumour has it that the names emblazoned on various headstones in the graveyard inspired J .K. Rowling to create characters of similar names in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.

Close-up of an aged, weathered gravestone with engraved text memorializing Thomas Riddell Esq. and his family. The engraving lists names, dates, and ages at death, mentioning locations such as Edinburgh and Trinidad. Part of the stone features a shadow cast by an unseen object, emphasizing the texture and erosion on the stone's surface.

Seven years after my last visit in #Edinburgh it was - of course - about time to also re-visit lovely #deanvillage again. Only a few things have changed since 2018 but the scenery is still worth any effort to put it into a photo!

Old stone buildings with varied architectural styles line a narrow river flanked by lush greenery. A quaint footpath runs along the riverbank, with a high stone wall on one side. The structures show a mix of medieval, traditional timber-framed, and Georgian influences, with predominant hues of beige, yellow, and dark timber. The scene is serene and picturesque, set against a soft, overcast sky.

Located in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge neighborhood, Circus Lane is a charming cobblestone street. The street is lined with several Georgian and Victorian-style mews houses, many of which feature colorful doors and flower boxes.

The area of Circus Lane is mostly residential and could once be considered a hidden gem. However, in recent years Circus Lane has gained popularity with photographers and Instagrammers as it is a perfect place for photos that capture the historic charm of Edinburgh.

White door with the number '29' on a sandstone building, adorned with pink roses climbing around the frame and a potted plant with pink flowers at the base. The door has a brass letter slot and a window partially covered by a white curtain. The sidewalk next to the building is paved and lined with other green bushes.
