A Visit to the Zoo
Edinburgh Zoo is the perfect place for a relaxing walk. Its extensive grounds, full of greenery, paths winding between the animal enclosures, and picturesque views of the surrounding area make it possible to spend an entire day there, enjoying the closeness of nature.
There is always a certain magic associated with a visit to the zoo that attracts both children and adults. Although we'd visited Edinburgh Zoo many times before, we decided to go again to make the most of the beautiful weather. This time, however, not only the animals were the main attraction of our visit. We were also intrigued by the new exhibits: animals built from LEGO bricks and dinosaurs.
A Stroll Through Nature
Edinburgh Zoo is the perfect place for a relaxing walk. Its extensive grounds, full of greenery, paths winding between the animal enclosures, and picturesque views of the surrounding area make it possible to spend an entire day there, enjoying the closeness of nature. Even if we don't plan to visit every enclosure in detail, the walk itself in such beautiful scenery is an excellent way to relax.
LEGO Brick Animals
One of the main attractions of our last visit was the exhibition of animals built from LEGO bricks. The creativity and precision with which these models were made are impressive. For children (and adults!) it's a real treat – the chance to see favorite animals in a completely new form.
It's worth mentioning that exhibitions like this often accompany various events and occasions at the zoo, and their themes can change, which means each visit can be a little different and just as fascinating.
Dinosaurs at the Zoo
The second additional attraction was the dinosaur exhibition. Realistic models of prehistoric giants attract attention not only from the youngest visitors. For fans of paleontology, it's a real treat. The exhibition not only presents impressive models but also educates, providing interesting information about the lives of those extraordinary creatures that once ruled the Earth.

Scottish Castles-new website
Castles have featured in my photos and here on the blog for a long time. Eventually, I felt I wanted to give them more space and a place of their own, beyond individual blog posts.

Gladstone’s Land
There’s something about Edinburgh’s Royal Mile that always draws me back. The crowds, the tartan shops, the sound of bagpipes, and the old stone buildings that seem as though they’ve stood here forever. Most of them have been altered so many times over the centuries that very little of the original
