I so enjoy walking along Regent Road when I am going to Calton Hill. The gardens are delightful and I am able to peer through trees to Holyrood Park. You get to see so much more this time of year.
Trees really do provide the “bones of the city” and even the burls are intriguing.
The early Spring blooms were evident on this walk and I was even graced with the presence of a robin. I thought they were shy creatures but not this one!
As I climbed the stairs to the hill, I always look behind me. It is a lovely cityscape.
It was a strange morning as the sky seemed to have a life of its own. I have never lived anywhere else like Scotland where the sky is so dramatic; as it can change the mood of a place within seconds. This morning’s walk was a great example of that. Each photo I took felt like it was taken on different days.
Calton hill never disappoints with its amazing city views. I personally love to walk/climb the hill at sunrise; It is invigorating.
It was a short walk but it did the trick!
