On the plane to London 
2014-02-08 afternoon

The plane arrived at London Heathrow Airport in the air but was not able to land due to traffic congestion.  It gave me more than an hour to take photos of the ever changing clouds.

Reservoir Glencorse, Pentland, Edinburgh, Scotland 2014-02-05

Reservoir Glencorse, Pentland, Edinburgh, Scotland 
2014-02-05 Cloudy and rain

This morning we went to the Reservoir Glencorse in the south of Edinburgh, inside Pentland.  We drove to the Flotterstone Information Centre and parked there.  We have taken a walk to the reservoir and then came back.  It was sunny when we left the information centre, but the weather had turned very back before we reached the reservoir, and rained heavily on the return journey.  There is a military area along the reservoir and the landscape should be quite nice, but it was much suppressed by the bad weather.

The Edinburgh Castle, Scotland 2014-02-02

The Edinburgh Castle, Scotland 
2014-02-02 Morning, Sunny 

We visited the Edinburgh Castle in the morning.  It was sunny with strong will.  The concourse in front of the castle did not allow parking any more.  It was Sunday and we got a parking bay easily down the hill at the Castle Terrace.  Walking to the castle took just 5 minutes but it was really chilling.

There were quite a lot of visitor but the ticketing office was quite effective.  The entrance fee has been adjusted up by 2 pounds since my last visit.  The view from the castle to the port and surrounding areas were beautiful.  We spent about 2 hours inside the castle because the gust was so strong that you did not want to stay outside for much time!
