Edinburgh

Another day exploring Edinburgh. This is an example of one of the many tiny alleyways, called a "close", that connects two streets.

 

 

We visited Edinburgh Castle where we saw some embroidery done by Mary, Queen of Scots.

 

 

And also this jewelry box made by a man who was a prisoner there. It is decorated with rolled strips of paper in a technique called quilling.

 

 

This is just a small part of the Scotsman Steps with description.

 

 

The Royal Bank Of Scotland has a beautifully decorated office in Edinburgh. This is the ceiling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is the lobby.

 

 

 

We also had an all-too-brief visit to the National Museum. This is a Victorian cast-iron public drinking fountain.

 

 

 

This is a ceiling.

 

 

This brooch had an interesting description.

 

 

 

These are some of the famous Lewis chesspieces.
