After a long day of photography and an evening trying to get a decent photo of the Scottish Parliament building at dusk I decided to walk back up the Royal Mile to the Castle before heading back to the hotel. From the main entrance to Edinburgh Castle only this part is properly lit up (from the side, down on Princess Street it looks much better at night). So I zoomed in from a distance and captured the above photograph. It was extremely windy, to the point where I had to hold on to the tripod legs!
