Yeah, the angle is not the perfect one, my camera is not the best one, this excerpt of the tour might not be the best one out of it, but who cares? I didn't want to leave the tour without taking some shots, and I was sorry I missed the writers fragment ( near the Writers museum ). We had a great time, we took a glimpse of the impressive history of this great city and area - City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Our tour guide was Johnney, a very knowledgeable guy and a showman as well ( A stand up comedian, radio host, history buff and happy traveller all wrapped into one convenient Scottish package. Johnney studies history and politics at Edinburgh University and when he’s not telling stories or doing bad impressions he can be found pursuing his hobby of muggle Qudditch, in fact he captains the Edinburgh Qudditch team! Johnney enjoys meeting new people and travelling so expect warmth and a whole hat of stories. ).
