Things to do in Edinburgh Sightseeing and photography experiences
Tours adventures & activities, documenting my photography adventures and activities in Edinburgh. Tours are available and are a great way to plan a photo trip, I do take advantage of these trips on occasion, especially the bus tours, however, I usually just improvise whilst on-foot, there’s plenty to see & do on Shanks’s Pony. From the many sightseeing and exploring opportunities to indulge in over the years I’ve managed to accumulate a bit of a photo collection. I’m delighted to share a selection of my favourites in this to do (done) gallery.
Some Things Done / Things Still to Do Visiting Edinburgh, have/haven’t yet experienced.
- Arthur's Seat, for the best view in town.
- Royal Yacht Britannia, for fab views from the cafe out to Leith Harbour.
- Inchcolm Abbey, the Island itself has a lot of history; you can take the boat trip out of South Queensferry, on route it takes you under the Forth road bridge and Rail Bridge and now the site of the new Queensferry crossing.
- Camera Obscura and World of Illusions,
- Urbane Art Gallery, a great discovery in the Old Town which showcases great artists from Scotland and around the world.
