6. Picture of Edinburgh Castle from Princes Street, with the Celtic Cross in the foreground. This is a memorial to Dean Ramsay, a popular 19th-century minister at the nearby St John's Episcopal Church.

8. I was working on Melville Street in Edinburgh today when I noticed the sky turning a vivid, fiery red. The colours were so striking that I headed up to our rooftop for a better look. From there, the Edinburgh skyline appeared both peaceful and dramatic, glowing under one of the most intense sunrise I’ve seen in the city this year
