Calton Hill, paintings, and College start

Last week - on the 15th - me, Georges, and Olivia, went out to enjoy a rare sunny day in Edinburgh. We started by visiting Calton Hill - a hill situated beyond the east end of Princes Street.

I didn’t take many pictures, but there are some monuments worth a visit. And if it is not too hazy, you’ll get a nice view to the city.

Some pictures taken from **Calton Hill**.

**Scott Monument**
A Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott.
It is the largest monument to a writer in the world.

On our way back, we took the time to stop by the Scottish National Gallery, which had some great paintings.

The **Scottish National Gallery** features some of Vincent van Gogh's and Claude Monet's paintings.

And that’s it! I haven’t been up to much lately. College lectures have already started, so…

Here’s a different farewell, from a little squirrel just outside the campus buildings.
