Ramsay Gardens

Ramsay Gardens, in Edinburgh's old town, is a block of sixteen privately-owned, highly priced apartment buildings in the Castlehill area. Visible from Princes Street, the apartments are very distinctive for their red ashlar and white harled exteriors.

The tower on the left is the Camera Obscura a Victorian rooftop chamber from which you can see live moving images of Edinburgh projected onto a viewing table through a giant periscope. It's a great day out and an unusual way to see the city and learn about its history.

Back blipped this shot as I was too late home from my jaunt up town yesterday evening. Quite liked the Back to the bar sign I also took, but I'll save that for another day...
