My DH and I decided to take a trip up to Scotland. Having been in England for just over a year and not seeing Scotland yet, we felt it was due time. We drove up to Edinburgh and spent 2 nights there. We had such a great time there that Glasgow just seemed like it was in a whole different country. In Edinburgh, it rained the whole first day we were there and we were so wet and cold that it was hard to enjoy ourselves but we found a place indoors to see. It is called Camera Obscura. A camera obscura is a mirror mounted on the top of a building that is about 3 inches by 5 inches and by focusing the image through 4 lenses, an image is projected inside the building of the entire city. It was amazing to see! That is not the only thing that was in Camera Obscura though, they had different illusions and mind blowing tricks in there it was like one giant magic show! On our second day in Edinburgh, we went to the castle. This is where I took this picture. It had stunning views of the city and the very tall building on the right hand side is known as The Hub, a gathering place, cafe and theatre in downtown Edinburgh. We had a great time and will be going up to Scotland again. I only wanted to go to Glasgow to find Gerard Butler but it is such an industrial town that we shopped and made our way back home. We had a great time in Scotland and are hoping to go back once the weather is warmer.
