Weekending: Autumn Highlights
At the first sign of snow (only a light smattering but enough that I feel vindicated for dressing in all my winter gear. Even the Scots have started doing so in the last two days so it must be cold!) I start to feel nostalgic for the slightly nippy but sunny days of autumn when our weekend exploring took us off to Edinburgh’s seaside, on a lovely local walk and a one day road trip up the coast. Here are the highlights.
Roslin Glen Walk
 |
| We walked a variation of this walk which started and ended at Rosslyn Chapel car park |
 |
| The autumnal view from Bilston viaduct |
 |
| Lush fields along the North Esk river |
 |
| Rosslyn Chapel - made famous as the location of the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code |
Portobello Beach
 |
| I love the contrast of natural and urban at Edinburgh's local seaside Portobello |
 |
| Looking back on the incredible sea fog which made driving over the Forth road bridge rather hair raising! |
 |
| The beautiful Lower Largo |
 |
| The harbour at Anstruther |
 |
| Anstruther's famous fish bar |
 |
| Definitely the last time I eat outside this year! The cup of tea helped to keep the shivers at bay |
Autumn in Edinburgh has been a blast. The sun is still peeping its head out of the clouds now and then here and I am looking forward to crisp, snowy winter days but it will be so lovely to spend a couple of days in a warm clime before really battening down the hatches for a Scottish winter. Malta here we come!
