I was hoping a wheelie bin wouldn’t be the first thing to indicate I’ve arrived in Scotland’s capital – but I’m happy to have made it to the third and final capital city of the journey!


I guess this must be a traditional Edinburgh tartan.

Rush for the train in Edinburgh. That’s the Aberdeen to Edinburgh leg completed. I’ll be back in a few weeks to spend a while in the city before walking to Newcastle.

  1. Did you go out to Crammond Island? I was rather saddened by it’s state. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much rubbish. I think the teenagers of Edinburgh like to go out here to party and leave all the rubbish behind, sadly.

    • No, the tide was wrong for me when I passed. That’s a shame. Tempting location for that I’m sure.

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
