Sunset in Leith, Edinburgh

I did a short walk yesterday around Leith Links and The Shore.

Leith Links

As the sun was setting, I whipped out my phone to take a few quick shots. I loved the play on the clouds at the Links.

The Shore

The reflection at The Shore did not disappoint even though it started to rain. 🙌🏾

It was surreal.

It’s a Burns Day

Statue of Robert Burns in Leith

Today is the day we drink a dram or two to the Ploughman’s poet, Robert Burns. It’s a Scottish celebration. Born in Ayrshire in 1759, Robert Burns is Scotland’s national bard. Dinner today is suppose to start with the Selkirk Grace, written in Burns:

“Some hae meat an canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”

Whatever you decide to do, do at least one thing Scottish. I’m going for a dram!
