As I walked the streets of Haddington on a brisk January day, what struck me immediately was COLOUR.

Now, I love Edinburgh however the predominant colour of the buildings is grey. Especially in the city centre. As I think though the different neighbourhoods in Edinburgh, I tried to think of one that compares. Perhaps Victoria Street and Morningside but they are not as vibrant.

Haddington’s colours of their storefronts and residential homes welcomed me like a rainbow.

Come on! Don’t you agree?

I felt like a kid entering a Sweet-shop. This burst of colour was a welcome change! And needed this time of year.

It set the mood. Thank you Haddington

If you know of a neighbourhood in Edinburgh that is colourful, let me know in the comments. Better still, add a photo! I would love to know and see.
