Edinburgh in Autumn Colours
Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens looked nice yesterday on a mild autumn day. The rocket-ship on the left is the monument to the writer Sir Walter Scott and in the centre is the very expensive, old North British Hotel (now the Caledonian) whilst to the right of that is the North Bridge and the roof of Waverley Rail Station. On the extreme right you can see the tall tenement buildings fringing the Royal Mile.
On a historical note, the top of the Scott Monument is where I proposed to Mags. Happily the lass didn't laugh hysterically and push me off the top, but said yes and donned the engagement ring. The monument is still there from over forty years ago but sadly the jewellers shop where we purchased the ring (next to the Greyfriar's Bobby statue) is now a kebab shop or something equally mundane! :0)
