Edinburgh, Scotland

I spent over three years in Scotland What a beautiful place to be. There were so many things to do there and such interesting places to see. That old country is reeking with History But it's not what this poem is about I just want to talk about Edinburgh, Which has some features I’d like to point out. High above this beautiful city Sits a castle enormous and bold It houses The Stone of Destiny The Seat Of Scottish Monarchs of old. The oldest crown in Europe Containing Scotlands’ Crown Jewels Is maintained within the castle walls According to the Monarchy rules. Outside the Castle is a cobblestone street It’s called the Royal Mile which leads to the Palace of Holyroodhouse Where Mary Queen of Scots lived for a little while. Whenever the Royal Family visits And intend to spend more than a day, They go to Holyrood Palace And that is where they stay. It was home for Robbie Burns the poet And JK Rowling of Harry Potter fame The Royal Yacht is moored there Britannia is its name. It's called the Festival City in August of every year the Worlds Largest Art Festival is always held right here. There's so many more things about Edinburgh I wish I could recall because the few that I have mentioned are really not much at all. Scotland...

Thanks Ralph and the same to you for your interesting and informative poem. Scotland like Ireland seems to be a country everyone feels a connection to. I really would like to visit both of them some day. Love, Joyce

ah the hills eaten by winding path and scouged by the monsters of the steely lock / the ghostly shapes of fallen foes in tartens/ the bloody ground groans under the weight of English boot and the air rings with the battle cry of warriors! Scotland...congrad's on your win! HUZZAH! Light & Love

Brilliant sales pitch for the Capital of Scotland Ralph. I reside in Inverness, about three hours north of Edinburgh. As Chris has mentioned, it just teems with history, and you have captured our lovely city so wonderful in your words >> James

Ralph, please be sure James Fraser reads this poem. He lives in Edinburgh and will love the historical account of his native land. I'm pleased to learn this was the home of Robert Burns. Maybe the Highlander has some of Burns' romantic genes inherited through DNA. My vacation is coming to an end and I fly home tomorrow night. Caught the bouquet at my nephew's wedding; now I need to catch a groom. LOL Love, Carolyn
