Queen Mother's Memorial Garden⁠ ⁠ The four corners of this Garden are planted to represent the 'four corners of the world' to reflect the Queen Mother's love of travelling. The plants, selected for educational and ornamental purposes, are predominantly plants commonly found in cultivation and are characteristic of the many geographical regions represented here. Scotland takes centre stage in the design, with a Celtic-style Labyrinth planted with bog myrtle (Myrica gale) which is a native of our wet uplands and evocative of the landscapes around the Castle of Mey the Queen Mother's home in Caithness in the north of Scotland.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #onthewayscotland #scotland_ig #scottishcity #edinburghbloggers #edinburghphotographer #westbowedinburgh #historicscotland #scotland_greatshots #traveladventures #szkocja #zwiedzamy #edinburgholdtown #oldtownedinburgh #postcardplaces #passionpassport #hiddenedinburgh #beautifuledinburgh #visitscotland #thisisscotland #unlimitedscotland #unlimitededinburgh #placetolive #victoriastreet #simplyscotland (at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/B44qNhMgII4/?igshid=l8jezpi52xyi

Greyfriars Kirkyard is the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located at the southern edge of the Old Town, adjacent to George Heriot's School. Burials have been taking place since the late 16th century, and a number of notable Edinburgh residents are interred at Greyfriars. The Kirkyard was involved in the history of the Covenanters. The Covenanting movement began with signing of the National Covenant in Greyfriars Kirk on 28 February 1638. Following the defeat of the militant Covenanters at Bothwell Brig in 1679, some 1200 Covenanters were imprisoned in a field to the south of the churchyard. When, in the 18th century, part of this field was amalgamated into the churchyard as vaulted tombs the area became known as the "Covenanters' Prison". During the early days of photography in the 1840s the kirkyard was used by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson as a setting for several portraits and tableaux such as The Artist and The Gravedigger. #onthewayscotland #scotland_ig #scottishcity #lonelytree #edinburghphotographer #cemetery #historicscotland #halloween2019 #traveladventures #szkocja #zwiedzamy #edinburgholdtown #kirkyard #nonomnismoriar #postcardplaces #passionpassport #hiddenedinburgh #beautifuledinburgh #visitscotland #thisisscotland #unlimitedscotland #unlimitededinburgh #mementomori #greyfriarskirkyard (at Greyfriars Kirkyard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TCzMeDYsa/?igshid=1fbgnpvhorsh7

West Bow has long been one of the most famed streets in #Edinburgh. First recorded in 1160, it was originally named for one of the earliest gates of the medieval city, “bow” meaning “arch”. When the stone King’s Wall round the city was built in the fifteenth century, the West Bow was the only approach from the West through, winding up the hill towards the Lawnmarket.   . . . #onthewayscotland #scotland_ig #scottishcity #edinburghbloggers #edinburghphotographer #westbowedinburgh #historicscotland #scotland_greatshots #traveladventures #szkocja #zwiedzamy #edinburgholdtown #britishtaxi #blacktaxi #postcardplaces #passionpassport #hiddenedinburgh #beautifuledinburgh #visitscotland #thisisscotland #unlimitedscotland #unlimitededinburgh #placetolive #victoriastreet #walkerslater (at Walker Slater) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SBvPzDoSo/?igshid=1bqy05mqaj2ga
