In #Scotland it's #SaintAndrewsDay ; I took this shot of #Edinburgh Castle, covered in snow & lit up Saltire blue in the winter night, on this day in 2010 https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/5221426019/in/photostream/lightbox/

This was just walking home from my book group that evening. Yes, these are the sorts of things you see when you live in this remarkable city and beautiful country.

For #SaintAndrewsDay - #Edinburgh Castle on a snowy night, lit up Saltire blue for Scotland's national day. Took this walking home from my book group on this day in 2010.

Another for #SaintAndrewsDay : walking home from book group on Nov 30th, 2010, snow muffling the sounds of the city, #Edinburgh Castle lit up Saltire blue. No tripod, so jammed camera between railings to capture this magical moment https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/5221426019/

Scenes like this just happen here, it's one of the reasons I love living in this city...

For #SaintAndrewsDay : took this while walking in 2009, passed Castle Street, looked up and saw two jet vapour trails in the sky, crossed like the Saltire, right above #Edinburgh Castle https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/3956053009/
It reminded me of the myth of the cross of St Andrew appearing in the sky before a pivotal battle, & being adopted as a Scottish symbol thereafter.
