Seeing the Queen.

The day I was leaving Edinburgh for Glasgow, I went to Waverly Station to catch my train. There was quite a commotion at the end of the station where I entered. Turns out that Queen Elizabeth II was passing through on her way to open the the Borders Railway in Scotland. It also happened to be the day (September 9th) she surpassed Queen Victoria's record and became the longest reigning British monarch (23,226 days). I tried snapping a few shots with my phone, but I just got the back of her in her turquoise coat and hat. 



 I bought The Times newspaper and Hello magazine for my scrapbook.
They both had much better pics!

Royal Botanic Gardens.

The beauty of these gardens was jaw-dropping...I literally walked into a greenhouse or around a corner and my mouth gaped open. Again, a few too many pics, but I hope you'll find it as beautiful as I did. This gem is right in the middle of Edinburgh!
