All these photos are from the official turning-on-the-lights at Edinburgh. That first shot though, looks like something from outer space, no?<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dear whoever is lovely enough to look at my blog, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blogger has told me I am no longer allowed to upload photos, as I have run out of free space! I will, at some point, rectify this but as I am in the middle of writing all of the essays, I am afraid this will have to wait until after December 10th. Hopefully by then I'll have more photos to show you as well! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks :)</div>

By the time we got to Melrose Abbey it was shut - though we knew that would be the case ahead of time. Luckily, you can get a pretty good view around two sides of the Abbey from outside the gates. So, I climbed up on the gates to get a better view - despite the wary looks from my father. </div>

This was the last Abbey we got to go in to. It is unique compared to the others because it's not in the middle of a town, but was actually incorporated into a Romantic garden in the 18th century. It's a shame I don't have more photos, (not very many of them stood out to me...) but I really like the ones I have! </div>

For some reasons, I have more photos of Jedburgh Abbey than the others. Perhaps it was the afternoon sunlight, or perhaps it was the way the architecture layers in photos. </div>

Jedburgh Abbey is considerably more intact than Kelso Abbey. I really love how the whole shell of the church is still standing - it makes for some great photos.</div>

The Border Abbeys. Let's see if I can explain this in a way that makes sense. The Abbeys, I believe, were all built in the 1100s, and from about the time they were built, they were being attacked by the English. And then Henry V became King, and the monasteries and abbeys were disbanded. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Kelso Abbey. Apologies for the lack of general shot of the Abbey - there's so little of it actually left that there's not a lot of space around it. In fact, it takes up about a block of a the town of Kelso, where it seems as though no one really notices the abbey in the middle of their town. </div>

The way we found this was actually a bit odd. On our way to look at another site, we saw a sign for a castle. So, once we had seen the other location (Traprain Law,) we went to investigate the castle. We figured it would be shut, as most Historic Scotland locations shut at 4:30pm, but thought it still might be pretty. The thing is, it wasn't shut. And we got there at sunset.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other crazy part - when I got home, I looked up the castle to see if we could find out more about it. It was at that point that I discovered it was successfully attacked by none other than Henry Percy, probably best known by his nickname - Harry Hotspur, and made famous by Shakespeare.</div>

Some of the highest parts of the castle are still safe to walk around on, so if you're brave enough to scamper up the stairs, you can get great views of the ocean and the countryside around. In the first photo you can see North Berwick Law, a volcanic hill that is quite drastically different than it's surrounding landscape. And that 5th photo is the remains of a staircase. </div>

Tantallon Castle is about an hour drive from Edinburgh. We got there, due to car rental difficulties, in the late afternoon, and the light was gorgeous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When approaching the castle you first go through the ruins of a gate house (1st photo,) and then round the corner to see the blue-stoned front gate. Why is the gate built out of a different stone than the rest of the castle (which is built of sandstone)? The theory is that the stone was softer and thus could take more blows from an attacking army. Well, it sure looks great too. </div>

The statue of Robert the Bruce on the castle Esplanade, a view out of a no longer used window, the town of Stirling from the Castle, and this church we passed on our walk home. </div>

About three weekends ago I went up to Stirling with one of the societies at Edinburgh to wander around Stirling Castle. It was an absolutely beautiful early fall day, and it did not rain once! We were so lucky. </div>

This is Inveraray in the rain. Almost the whole town is built in the same style as the building in the first photo as at one point the whole thing was rebuilt. Basically the Duke of Argyll, at some point, wanted the town to move to facilitate the building of his now castle/manor house, and so he did. Or at least that's what our guide told us. Anyway, the town is right on the shore of Loch Fyne, which is actually a sea Loch, hence the seafaring vessels. Like Kilchurn Castle, it still managed to be beautiful in the rain. </div>

Obviously the weather changed a bit in between these two locations. When the parents and I were in Scotland before classes started, we decided to go on a "Western Highlands" tour. It was absolutely beautiful for the first few hours, then it poured, then it got a little better but by then we were all soaked. My mother and I bought new socks halfway through. Though it was a bit horrendous at the time, I have to say I a little bit love the blurry rain photos that came out of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Doune castle is, unsurprisingly, right outside the village of Doune, and though you can't see it, is just by the edge of the River Teith. Both Monty Python and Game of Thrones have filmed here - Monty Python used it for every castle in the Holy Grail, and Game of Thrones used it for the pilot, but still cool. We didn't get a chance to go inside, but I guess that leaves me more to do as the year goes on! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kilchurn Castle. Well, first off it's on the edge of Loch Awe, i.e. essentially in the Loch if it rains too much. Something about being on the ruins of a castle in the stormy weather was actually quite beautiful. It just <i>may</i> have actually been worth getting soaked. </div>

Arthur's Seat is actually a pretty amazing thing. It's a gigantic hill in a park in the middle of one of the largest cities in Scotland. It was probably also inhabited in the Iron Age. And when you go the long way around (first past the Sailsbury Craigs, then up the Edinburgh side of Arthur's Seat,) it can be quite the trek. And windy. But I think these photos prove it's worth the walk. </div>

The photo at the top is one of the only good photos of the castle without a bunch of people in it. People are distracting. For instance, there is this other photo I like, but there's a couple kissing in it. So distracting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second photo is from St. Margaret's Chapel, which was built around the 12th century, and is the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh. The stained glass image, then is of St. Margaret, looking very Saintly with the light from behind. </div>

Edinburgh. When I was here last, I didn't make it up to the Castle, so when my parents were here, we most certainly went. All of these photos are of the Scottish National War Memorial, which was opened in 1927. </div>

Once again the Grote Kerk. Apparently, it's one of the older churches in The Netherlands, having been built in the 15th century, and not having been destroyed by the 16th century Spanish invasion. You can hardly tell from theses photos, but the ceiling is beautifully painted with scenes from the Bible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we visited, there was an exhibition of a photography contest in the church. Though the photos were really interesting, many of them were quite violent. This combination of something so very modern and dissonant to the atmosphere of the church is something I notice the Dutch do a lot - and I actually quite love it. They are reverent towards their past, but willing to integrate the past into the modern world.</div>
