Scotland Photo Adventure The most unique shots of Scotland and where to get them Many visitors to Great Britain find that they barely make it out of London, even when they have a week or more to discover this island. However, the photographers amongst that group might know that there are some amazing images to be captured north of the border of England. This time we shed light on the fascinating land of Scotland so you don’t miss any of the best places to get pictures on your visit to Great Britain. Edinburgh For a city of less than half a million people, Edinburgh certainly has a lot of personality. Populated with some absolutely astonishing examples of old architecture, Edinburgh enjoys many old churches, landmarks and, of course, the 12th Century Edinburgh Castle, which sits atop Castle Rock and looks over the whole city. Even the streets and the houses seem to be lifted out of another age entirely, and if you’re lucky, you’ll find where the city gates used to keep people out at night! Edinburgh is absolutely swimming in literary history and folk tales, so whether you’re wandering through the graveyards, going on a ghost tour or simply wandering the streets on a cold but sunny morning, you’ll have no shortage of things to photograph. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to spend Hogmanay, the Scottish celebration of New Years in Edinburgh, then you’re going to have an incredible night. Don’t forget your camera! PicsArt Monthly | 71
