– Look Up, Look Down, week 10
Every Thursday, I publish a post containing photos taken from above or below, and invite you to join in the challenge by posting your own photos with an up or down perspective.
*********************************************************************************
Edinburgh has many claims to fame including a rich history, impressive educational institutions and renowned cultural displays and events. Amongst its many surviving historic buildings are Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, as well as an extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th century. Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
For a great view over the city, pay a visit to the National Museum of Scotland and take the lift to the 7th floor. The roof terrace here is something of a hidden gem, it is free, and it has one big advantage over views from the Castle: you get a view of the Castle.
If you’d like to see more views of Edinburgh and can’t get there yourself, pop along to the cinema and watch Sunshine on Leith: a beautiful, feel-good film with music from the Proclaimers and stunning views of this magnificent city.

Travel with Intent 
It’s my first time visiting your blog today but I couldn’t resist nipping down to Edinburgh whilst I’m here. It’s only a two hour drive for me from my location here in Aberdeenshire but even easier via your post!
I’m interested in your Thursday challenge and will revisit to see more.
Fantastic photos 😀

I’m glad you like it so much. Edinburgh is sooo beautiful. I’m lucky to have a friend with a flat there that I can borrow when it’s not in use. It would be great to have you join the challenge – all you need to do is create an up or down post and link it in. Shout if you need help with the linky tool.
