TONY NUCCIO IN EUROPE - Pictures of Edinburgh, Scotland

February 4th, 2002: Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh, not enough time.
One day is never enough for any city.

My time in Edinburgh was too short to say I actually been there. The city offers a wide array of culture, history, and many sites to see. Unfortunately, I was finishing the last leg and invested my time into the Highlands and Isle of Skye for this journey. I may return in August, if time permits, for the famous festival and some better weather. The weather was typically cloudy and didn't allow the best opportunity for satisfactory pictures. Edinburgh has a great pub nightlife and I highly recommend a trip there, its a place to see.

Before I departed Edinburgh, the weather improved. Sometimes when you travel you just have to deal with what you have and make the most of it, because you may never see it again.
