Steam train trip - part two...

So we didn't do much during our break in Edinburgh except potter along Princes Street and spend time in Princes Street Gardens - but I did take some pictures to prove that we'd been there - including some of one of my favourite water features.

Beautiful pictures!!

Scotland is on my to do list!! I hope to get to Edinburgh someday.

Edinburgh is a lovely city - but, for us, the focus of this trip was really the steam engine, I must admit.

I remember Princes Street well, lovely City.

Those are great steam engine photos, just the sort of thing you'd like in a calendar.

Edinburgh is a lovely spot.

I'm happy with those steam train shots, and I notice that they are getting a few hits over on Flickr.

It's a little amusing that they couldn't find enough water in a country surrounded on 3 sides by water. Edinburgh looks lovely; I'd like to visit sometime. That window is amazing - you always post great photos.

the way that they couldn't fill the tender in Scotland, with its reputation of being one of the wettest countries in the world, caused some good natured head shaking amongst all of us waiting for our engine, too!

Edinburgh is a lovely city - and the window must have been a real centre-piece when the station was opened - now the large open area beneath it has a Costas Coffee outlet, complete with its own 'roof' sitting under it, and I don't expect many people look up to see what is 30 feet or more above their heads.

I'll bet the train (and the station) had that special old-timey "steamy" smell. :)

The train did indeed - and one tiny corner of the station - we were on platform 19 of 20.

What wonderful pictures! I love that window and the towers. Gorgeous!

Edinburgh is a lovely city - well worth a visit.
