ScotlandStory (part 7)

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. It has many famous places to visit. But it is a city that hides a lot front of your eyes. It all is there, too close to be noticed.

There are gardens which are easy to bypass...

...and there are many famous and unknown alleys.

Advocates's Close is very narrow and extremely steep passageway between Cockburn Street and The Royal Mile. He really did a devil's job by carrying our backpack (almost 20kg) across the stairs all the way from down Cockburn Street up to Royal Mile. And much more; actually all the way through the centre. What a gentleman He was! (We all are very grateful for that.)

YoungLady loved the staircase of our accommodation place.

You could call that Scandinavian staircase. White and green. Peace. Calm. Bright. Except it is not. It is in 150 years old building in Edinburgh.

At T H I S time we visited only The Writers Museum in Edinburgh. We planned to see many more but as I have earlier told Urquhart Castle and Rosslyn Chapel really shoved us so much that no more was needed. For sure we'll go back to Scotland so next time we can see more. In Edinburgh there was so much to see "outside" that our time and days passed by wondering the architecture and popping in many old and new book shops.

I come from the place which has a lot to show you. But this lot doesn't include much old architecture. MyWorld is different. That's why these beautiful buildings, intimate centres and art everywhere steal my attention. I can fall into oblivion with all the details. That's why I have never ever got lost in the wilderness but in cities and buildings thousands of times. I forget where I am, from where I came, to where I should go and I start to question; who at the end I actually am.

And yes, Unicorn, yes indeed. Why on earth I started to work with Unicorns after ending up home?
