1. Very nice citycsapes and Edinburgh Castle

is just awesome! I thought it was funny that in tribute to Conan Doyle there is a statue of his ficticious character, Sherlock Holmes.

8. We've done some editing on the photos, to add in pictures from a previous Edinburgh trip (2001).

Thanks for your comments!

2. Nice! Gave me flashbacks.

I was there some 30 years ago, hanging out in the Princes Street Gardens, wandered around Edinburgh Castle, visited St. Giles Cathedral and a lot of the old town. A fascinating city; I need to go there again. Thanks for sharing your excellent photos.

9. You're welcome, and I do hope you are able to get back there.

Bring your walking shoes and, of course, your umbrella. We only had one rainy period of about an hour in late May -- early June.

3. I'm so jealous.

I might be going to Glasgow for graduate school next year, so those pictures are building the anticipation! Great shots, BTW! :hi:

10. On BBC TV, they have a weeknight program devoted to birds and animals.

The week we were there, they showed nighttime photos of "urban red foxes" that live in Glasgow. They are nocturnal animals and the photographer got some great shots. Apparently, some of the foxes live in a natural gas facility and come out in the evening.

Good luck with the graduate program -- we drove past Glasgow on our northern Scotland and England trip (our first to the UK in 2001, but anywhere we've been in Scotland is just great!

Fascinating!

Thanks for your comments.

Springwatch
Monday 4 to Thursday 7 June
8.00-9.00pm BBC TWO
http://www.bbc.co.uk/springwatch


(L-R) Bill Oddie, Kate Humble and Simon King bring viewers a second week of live wildlife reports

Bill Oddie, Kate Humble and Simon King return for a second week of live wildlife reports, watching the trials, tribulations and sheer beauty that is spring. Through the use of 50 mini-cameras and miles of fibre-optic cable, viewers can continue to follow the real-life animal dramas – live – without disturbing the animals themselves.

The series, based on an organic farm in Devon, features blue tits, great tits, swallows, robins, wrens, blackbirds, song thrushes, chaffinches, barn owls, buzzards, jackdaws, badgers, woodpeckers, housemartins, otters, kingfishers and dippers.

Away from the Devon farm, Simon King continues his journey round the beautiful Scottish island of Islay; and, in Glasgow, Gordon Buchanan continues his fox diary, following the red fox families living in the area to discover how they cope with city life.

Springwatch is also a key player in the BBC's three-year Breathing Places Campaign, so people will be encouraged to explore their local area – all backed up by the 15 BBC flagship public "Springwatch Festivals" across the UK on the weekend of 9 and 10 June.

Viewers can continue to enjoy Springwatch by tuning in to the Springwatch Nightshift on BBC Two at 11.20pm and 2am every night. They can also catch up with the Springwatch up-date and highlights show on Friday 8 June on BBC One at 7.30pm.

4. Very nice!

I can't wait to go. My kids are to small right now to take over but in a couple of years the entire family will be going. I hope to take the train to all of our destinations as I can't drive a manual transmition car here let alone try it on the opposite side of the road.
Thanks for sharing the photographs!

11. I hope you do go and you've mentioning driving in the UK. I wouldn't attempt it -- I thought

it might be too dangerous. Our reflexes are taxed by even learning to look to the RIGHT for oncoming vehicles as a pedestrian!

12. "...always enjoy your picture threads" -- very nice of you to say that.
