I Wanna Edinburgh

The sad thing about this is that I don't live there. The good thing? I carried pictures with me from the place.

Just the stats Ma'am: Population: 471,650 (best guess); founded: prior to the 7th century; average life expectancy - male: 76.5; female: 81.4; tourists per year: 3.38 million and in my eyes, the no.1 tourist destination - of note...

And yes, and average of the people do speak like the bloke from the movie: "300."

Edinburgh...

I wanted to highlight the busy sections and the bustle of the city because it reveals that the old and the new co-exists with good balance here; that's what makes a great place to live and visit.

The Ruins of Uruqhart Castle

Uruqhart (pronouced Urk-urt) Castle is a structure of ruins which belonged to the Lord and Lady Uruqhart (of the Clan Uruqhart) in medieval Inverness, Scotland and it can be viewed when one cruises along the legendary Loch Ness.

This ruins gave me a good idea of how life was lived during that time as I further discovered that these castles had a well built walls all around the perimeters for a fort to protect the premises. 

I became informed that inside this area lay the township which included all the local businesses, different enterprises, artillery, all in the view where the nobles resided.

Among other things, defense was foremost if communities such as these were to survive. Well engineered and powerful weapons such as the Trebuchet were paramount to keep the peace.

I am sure that it was very much a site to behold if I had existed then, for even if all I have to see today are remnants of a mysterious past, Uruqhart was romantic and made me marvel!

And here's an Uruqhart nostalgia with the last glance:

Dia leibh Uruqhart!
