The View from Holyrood Park
Yesterday I posted an image of Edinburgh Castle taken from Salisbury Crag in Holyrood Park. I took several other images of the city and surrounding area from the view point and here is a selection -
The image above is looking north towards Calton Hill and the Nelson Monument which stands above the Firth of Forth.
This shot is a wide angle of the scene looking north towards Fife on the far bank of the Firth of Forth. In the foreground is the Scottish Parliament building and to the left is Holyrood Palace.
Holyrood Park attracts a lot of visitors who take in the spectacular views of Edinburgh. This couple wandered into my shot but they do provide a nice counterpoint to the view beyond. In the far distance you can see the top of the Forth Road Bridge above the hill and beyond that the mountains become visible.
The two images below show more detail of the City of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Castle, with the Union Flag flying proudly above. What flag will be flying from that flag pole on the 19th September after the Independence Referendum, the Union Flag or the Scottish Saltire, will remain to be seen.
The next image is of the ships moored in the Firth of Forth next to island of Inchkeith in the evening light.
Looking East along the coast towards East Lothian, North Berwick Law and Bass Rock are clearly visible on the horizon.
All images taken on a Fujifilm X-T1 + Fujinon XF14mm f2.8R or Fujinon XF55-200mm f3.5/4.8R lens
