    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[261]
         		 Cake! Nom nom nom, death.: by wilski, Views[302]
         		 Edinburgh, city of cathedrals. Here's a rare street shot without cathedrals.: by wilski, Views[323]
         		 How cool do these buildings look? Tim Burton would like.: by wilski, Views[661]
         		 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[481]
     
    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[406]
         		 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[401]
         		 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[369]
         		 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[1184]
         		 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[251]
     
    One of my favorite pics I've taken so far!: by wilski, Views[262]
         		 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[406]
         		 Me in front of some concrete fence thingy. Columns. They make my ass look slimmer in the photos.: by wilski, Views[297]
         		 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[992]
     
    James Braidwood, inventor of No Standing zones.: by wilski, Views[279]
         		 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[555]
         		 This bike was built to be photographed next to old stone fences.: by wilski, Views[502]
         		 Look what Jesus did: by wilski, Views[1305]
         		 Doof doof!: by wilski, Views[456]
     
    Disco disco!: by wilski, Views[609]
         		 This is what passes for news in Britain. Funny but sad.: by wilski, Views[2350]
         		 Water water everywhere, let's all have a drink!: by wilski, Views[298]
         		 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[529]
         		 I'm fast running out of words to describe the pretty pretty scenery. So instead, I'll tell you about how much my neck hurts. It doesn't hurt that bad, just feels a tad stiff from all the nights spent in a tent on the cold cold ground. But I'll be ok, so long as I stretch occasionally and keep hydrated. Mm yes yes.: by wilski, Views[562]
     
    LOOK HOW EXCITED I AM!! I'm not really, I just have an insect imbedded in my left eyeball and it hurts.: by wilski, Views[215]
         		 I had the pleasure of riding through this scenery, mountains and valleys and snow and cloud and shit. Perfection. : by wilski, Views[232]
         		 So many fantastic views, it was around here that I started to feel disillusioned as to whether I was enjoying my trip or just stopping to take pics for everyone else to enjoy...: by wilski, Views[256]
         		 Fort William, home of the Fort William World Cup, where all downhill mountain bikers such as myself aspire to go. I was there! But alas, just to have a peek, not ride. No money to hire equipment, and I left my courage back in Australia. But if any of the lads ask, I'll say yeah, sure, I rode Fort William (to Fort William, on my motorcycle..): by wilski, Views[209]
         		 The monument to commandos. Oo-rah, semper-fi! Piuu piuu!: by wilski, Views[206]
     
    Following the Lochs down to Edinburgh, my first sighting of snow :): by wilski, Views[223]
         		 Me being handsomely disappointed at not seeing any Nessie dragon. What a waste of my time and talents.: by wilski, Views[248]
         		 My campsite for the night, two meters from the lakes edge with my bike facing the Loch so's I can use the sidecar spotlight to find the monster. Or uni students skinny-dipping.: by wilski, Views[2000]
         		 Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum. Hot coffee, pasta and soaky bread, and port with the word 'cock' in it.: by wilski, Views[242]
         		 Lunch. Simple. All ye need is a packet of pasta, one cup of water, and £10,000 of motorcycle to cook under.: by wilski, Views[254]
     
    Brum.: by wilski, Views[235]
         		 With my back to the lake (flirting with danger because the Loch Ness monster could sneak up on me and nick my wallet) ye can just see the road and my bike sputtering happily away. Sputt sputt sputter cough bang comunista.: by wilski, Views[252]
         		 I stopped here to have lunch and it was so nice that I stayed the night. Had to offroad it through some lumpy ground and hill to get down to the lake to camp. It was fun. I smiled.: by wilski, Views[316]
         		 Loch Ness, home of the fabled monster. That doesn't exist, thanks to a £6 audio-visual museum tour I took. I'd rather haf saved my quid and lived in my fairytale world of shiny water puppies.: by wilski, Views[237]
         		 All that's missing is a bear with a salmon in its mouth, and the salmon has a worm in its mouth, and an eagle is swooping down to grab the worm. And a strong black man in a towel is riding the bear. And I'm drunk.: by wilski, Views[250]
     
    I always pick the scenic-est places to pull over and defrost.: by wilski, Views[226]
         		 What a great place to set up a castle. The English didn't think so, and broke the castle.: by wilski, Views[216]
         		 The view across the bay. Jaws wasn't shot on location here.: by wilski, Views[238]
         		 A pretty castle I stopped at, not so much because it was pretty and I wanted to take a photo, but because I was damp and needed to dry off and check my phone for Tomtom GPS directions as to where the fuck I was in relation to wherever I was headed. Wonder if the fish & chip shop opposite the castle was still there back in the day. It'd be so handy for King Whatshisface on a Friday night, just order some fried yummies and stay home watching the telly.: by wilski, Views[1209]
         		 My feeble attempt at air-drying clothes. In Scotland. You can't dry things in Scottish air. Having said that, ye can't really dry things in a campsite laundry dryer. It comes out warmer, sure, but still damp and now with a slight other-peoples-socks scent to it.: by wilski, Views[2022]
     
    Water inlet bay thingy. Had to cross a very impressive bridge to get here, Edinburgh is on the other side now. You can't see it because I ain't pointed the camera at it, but if I did, you probably wouldn't see it anyway because I would have kept it for myself. Ugh, too much sugar, my heart hurts. I'mma go lie down now.: by wilski, Views[239]
         		 Edinburgh Castle. They have a thing called the 1 o'clock gun. At 1 o'clock, they fire a gun. It goes 'bang!' It's how you can tell the locals from the tourists, all the locals look at their watches to make sure the time is correct, tourists shit themselves. Perhaps really really old or young locals shit themselves too.: by wilski, Views[370]
         		 Edinburgh Castle, the castley-est castle in all of Edinburgh. Apparently it's haunted. And for £12 you can find out who by. I'd rather pretend it's Michael Jacksons ghost. Or Patrick Swayze, yeah, how cool would that be! Side-kicking the ass plates of the suits of armor at night, hi-YAAAH!! ^_^: by wilski, Views[238]
         		 Edinburgh, so cool! Not cool as in cold, cool as in nice. I like, but only stayed for a few hours to find a place to chargey-chargey phone and fix broken lock on the bike boot.: by wilski, Views[233]
         		 Camping wild in Scotland, making some chow to chow on. Tomato pasta, with bread and cheese and cherry tomatoes, and coffee to finish. Pretty yum. Ugh, I'm so hungry nao!: by wilski, Views[296]
