Night Time in Edinburgh, Scotland

Experiencing Edinburgh at night was one of the highlights of my trip there this past week. The lights of the city and the carnival in the East Princess Street Gardens make city come alive in December and it is beautiful! My friend and I also went on a Sandeman's ghost walking tour. The tour itself was mediocre but it was creepy to see the cemeteries and it was amazing to see the city lights from the top of Calton Hill at night.

 The carnival. Part of the Highlands Village that is set up at Christmas.

 Me on Ramsay Lane. It leads up to the castle.
 The magnificent Edinburgh Castle!
 View from the castle entrance way. South side of the city.
 The view of the north side of the city from Calton hill.
 The National Monument of Scotland at night. This monument makes Edinburgh's nickname "The Athens of the North."
