    This chap was not as good as the first performer, alas, he spoke poor English and the crowd had no time for him. : by wilski, Views[310]
         		 Street performers. Not to be confused with pikeys. They both take yer money, but street performers give you entertainment, pikeys give you a beating.This particular chap did some fantastic stuff with his balls.: by wilski, Views[423]
         		 And I have such a hard time finding a park for my bloody motorcycle. Honestly!: by wilski, Views[317]
         		 Gods' place, again. He's just showing off now.: by wilski, Views[314]
         		 The birthplace of Guy Fawkes. The Scots like Guy because he hatched a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. I think everyone feels that way towards politicians at one stage or another. Made a cracking good movie too, 'V For Vendetta,' well worth a watch.: by wilski, Views[306]
     
    York Minster. Cathedral. Where God chills out when in North Yorkshire. Hallelujah.: by wilski, Views[324]
         		 The city of York, so very touristy. A man playing piano outside a French restaurant. So very touristy. : by wilski, Views[339]
         		 Eeyore. There was a flock of donkeys, I like donkeys. Smelled really bad.: by wilski, Views[804]
         		 This is what I paid to see. Two llamas fucking. Yep.: by wilski, Views[1000]
         		 Pony. Tiny pony. Teacup pony.: by wilski, Views[1470]
     
    Horsie. Big British smile.: by wilski, Views[1510]
         		 A goose, honking at me. Gooses are pretty scary animals.: by wilski, Views[2178]
         		 Flock o' gooses an ducks an swans an shit. Lotsa shit.: by wilski, Views[501]
         		 Ginger cow! So cute!: by wilski, Views[1578]
         		 Ginger cows!: by wilski, Views[521]
     
    A llama. Went to an animal farm to cheer myself up. It worked a treat.: by wilski, Views[406]
         		 Measuring 20m tall and 54m across, built to withstand 100kph winds, also known as the 'Gateshead Flasher' and the 'Guardian Angel of Fucking Toe-rags,' a toerag being slang for a tramp. By tramp, I'm sure they don't mean the homeless jobless bearded variety either.: by wilski, Views[704]
         		 The Angel of The North, a colossal statue in Gateshead, England.: by wilski, Views[2120]
         		 Irn Bru (pronounce iron-brew) is Scotlands answer to Coca-Cola, or Pepsi, outselling the both of them combined. It looks like Fanta, tastes like creamy soda, gives a kick like a double espresso. Fantastic stuff, very addictive. Brush yer teeth afterwards, it'll rot the teeth outta yer head.: by wilski, Views[1539]
         		 My breakfast/dinner/breakfast. Yum. The upset tumtum and elevated heartrate were worth it.: by wilski, Views[734]
     
    The Scott Monument, dedicated to Sir Walter Scott, author of such famous books as Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, and The Lady of The Lake. It looks like a giant goth rocketship. If you climb all 287 steps to the top, you get a certificate commemorating the event, as well as a cup of coffee and a free kitten.: by wilski, Views[929]
         		 The statue commemorating Ye Olde Bobby. Years before his passing, a law was put through stating all dogs without an owner were to be destroyed. The mayor of Edinburgh at the time, hearing this paid for Bobbys' license, thus sparing him from a fate worse than.. um.. sparing him from a fate of death. When Bobby finally carked it, his body wasn't allowed to be buried within the cemetary as it was consecrated ground. He was instead buried just inside the gate, close to the final resting place of his master. Happy ending. As happy as it ever gets in Scotland anyway.: by wilski, Views[879]
         		 The grave of Bobby, the most loyal pup in the world. To this day passers-by still leave gifts of chew-toys or sticks for his ghost to fetch. Silly silly. He ain't fetchin' shyte I'm afraid. Poor thing's dead ay.: by wilski, Views[862]
         		 A wall of the Greyfriars Kirkyard, covered with memorial tablets to those poor unfortunates committed to the ground, and possibly dug up at a later stage to be sold to the local university for dissection (a scarily easy way to make cash back in the day, the uni paying big coin for a freshly dead corpse): by wilski, Views[438]
         		 The tomb of 'Bloody' George Mackenzie, whose poltergeist is said to cause bruising, cuts and bites to those who come into contact with it. It was freed by a homeless man who broke into the vault to shelter from the rain. The ground inside gave way and he collapsed through into the tomb, unleashing the ghost of Mr Mac. The ghost made the homeless dude shit his potato sack. Later on, a schoolboy, hiding in the valt to escape from a fatal beating administered by his headmaster, lost his mind on being confronted by the ghost. It has since ignored demands for its return. A warrant is out for its arrest. : by wilski, Views[1372]
     
    Greyfriars Kirkyard, site of one of the most hauntiest tomb in Edinburgh. The ground is chock full of corpses here, every step you take is onto a grave. Squishy.: by wilski, Views[409]
         		 Yum yum yum I gots some proper food! A shredded pork roll, they're famous here in the market district, every day they kill a pig and hang it in the window and urrrr I've lost my appetite... Meat is murder, tasty tasty murder.: by wilski, Views[372]
         		 Cake! Nom nom nom, death.: by wilski, Views[418]
         		 Edinburgh, city of cathedrals. Here's a rare street shot without cathedrals.: by wilski, Views[480]
         		 How cool do these buildings look? Tim Burton would like.: by wilski, Views[810]
     
    See that tall crooked building in the middle? It's the oldest building in Edinburgh. Used to be the rich would live at the bottom, and the poorer families would live higher up. It's the reverse nowadays, but the reason behind it used to be that if there was a fire, and there was always something burning back then, the rich could get out easier while the poor people would have to jump. They would of course aim to land on a rich person to break their fall. One of the benifits of living up in the higher floors was that you had fantastic views of the poor pepoles bedrooms opposite your house, and you could throw your poo onto peoples hats in the street.: by wilski, Views[688]
         		 The Heart of Midlothian! How epic-sounding eh? This mosaic marked where the prison used to stand and public executions took place. It was and still is common these days to see people spitting on the heart, as a sign of disdain for the former prison and also because it's considered good luck. Not good luck for the chap who gets down on bended knee to propose to his true love only to get spit and phlegm on his trousers. Haha silly romantic chap.: by wilski, Views[568]
         		 St Giles, halfway between Edinburgh Castle and the Palace, it's the mother church of Presbytarianism. It's where God lives when he's in town. Very noisy neighborhood though, so many tourists wandering around, if I was him I'd double-glaze my stained-glass windows.: by wilski, Views[535]
         		 Nothing like a walking tour on a sunny day in Edinburgh to cheer up a downy clowny. I think vitamin D has something to do with happiness. I think a pint o lager is a good substitute for vitamin D. This is The Royal Mile, so named because it's a mile long and the Royal Palace is at one end of the street, Edinburgh castle at the other. The Scotlanders are very inventive when it comes to naming streets.: by wilski, Views[512]
         		 The morning after, stumbling around Edinburgh with some strawberry milk and a donut, it was one of the saddest moments of my trip. I felt completely lost and just wanted to go home to Australia, give up on whatever the heck I was trying to accomplish with this silly trip abroad.. :(: by wilski, Views[1503]
     
    One of my favorite pics I've taken so far! Of course I tipped, tipped like an American. My kittens are safe.: by wilski, Views[358]
         		 One of my favorite pics I've taken so far!: by wilski, Views[370]
         		 Oh gosh I forgot the name of this bar! Prudence, Premises, something classy starting with a P. Or an S. It's a really cool rockabilly bar down from the YHA hostel I stayed at in Edinburgh. One of those
         		 This is art. Stegosauruses made out of tin pans. : by wilski, Views[533]
         		 Me in front of some concrete fence thingy. Columns. They make my ass look slimmer in the photos.: by wilski, Views[397]
     
    The Elephant House, where J.K Rowling wrote her Harry Potter books. T'was here I had my first whisky in Scotland. It was Irish whisky though. The cafe is covered with elephant things, this wardrobe cupboard thing was especially cool. Elephants rock. Harry Potter is also quite good.: by wilski, Views[1300]
         		 James Braidwood, inventor of No Standing zones.: by wilski, Views[394]
         		 The Wallace Memorial Knob. Kinda looks like that evil tower that Mister Saurons eyeball floated on in Lord Of The Rings. I CAN SEE YOU FRODO, GIVE ME YOUR VALUABLES: by wilski, Views[767]
         		 This bike was built to be photographed next to old stone fences.: by wilski, Views[670]
         		 Look what Jesus did: by wilski, Views[1650]
     
    Doof doof!: by wilski, Views[611]
         		 Disco disco!: by wilski, Views[775]
         		 This is what passes for news in Britain. Funny but sad.: by wilski, Views[2545]
         		 Water water everywhere, let's all have a drink!: by wilski, Views[446]
         		 Leaving the Lochs, the mountains gave way to moors, I believe they're called. Moors! Moops! Moors! Hahaha poor stupid bubbleboy.... Yeah, wasteland of bogs and tar pits and also a single truck tire.: by wilski, Views[677]
