Edinburgh‘s Christmas lights were turned on on Thursday night, so when I was in town tonight for dinner the city was looking rather beautiful. St. Giles’ cathedral on the High Street was lit up against the backdrop of the last of the evening sun.
Opposite
St. Giles’ are the
Edinburgh City Chambers, which had a wintry scene projected onto its facade.
Edinburgh Castle was looking similarly resplendent in its illuminated state.
Beside the
Scott monument was a fairground, two Christmas markets (one German, one Scottish), and an ice-skating rink down in
Princes Street Gardens.
The
Bank of Scotland was also lit up against the night sky.
Looking back towards
Princes Street on my way home, the
Scott monument looked fantastic, rising like a rocket from the lights of the fairground.
