One O'clock Gun



This picture shows the north Edinburgh skyline, looking to the Firth of Forth and Kingdom of Fife beyond. Taken from high on the ramparts of the fiendlishly expensive Castle, at the bottom left is the famous gun, which is fired every day at 13:00 hours. The main street visible is Princes street, containing many of the capitals modern shops, and along with Geroge street which runs parallel, forms part of what is refered to as the "new town", built in the late 1700's. I went on this little jaunt back in June with Jen, but it seemed appropriate to include now as im off to the Scottish highlands for a week. Therefore dont expect any updates for a while!
