from the doorway of the ruin lookign out over edinburgh

looking down from the ruin on that natural pond

looking out again from the ruin over edinburgh and to fife in th edistance

looking towards the new parliment and the city centre

further up the hill

even the camera felt the cold thus the blur!

nuclear bomb went off in fife, lol nice pic though

see the hexagonal building building? Thats a library!

getting near the top now

on the hill in the distance you can see the dry ski slope

ohh pretty colours

George posing, my pose was better but it got deleted

George struggling to stand up due to the wind, a good 40/50 mph

doesn't look it but tjhats a near vertical drop of around 2/300 feet.

nigh on vertical to the road

yeah but i'm only a soft southener. Laughing

I think we only saw the top of cairgorm twice and that was August. still the whisky trail made up for it, probably the reason we needed the chair lift! Very Happy
