Best spots for photos in Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh, Scotland is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. With its cobbled streets, winding alleys, and stunning views of the surrounding hills, it is a photographer’s paradise. Here are some of the best locations to take photos in Edinburgh.
The Royal Mile is the spine of the Old Town and a great place to take photos. The iconic cobblestones, the unique architecture, and the charming shops and restaurants along the way make for some interesting shots. The area around the street is a great spot for capturing the beauty of the city. The views from the top of the Castle and Calton Hill are stunning, and the Royal Mile is the perfect place to capture them.
The Grassmarket is another great area for photography. This busy market square is filled with interesting shops and street performers, making it a great place to take candid shots. With the cobblestones and the nearby castle in the background, it’s a great spot to get some unique perspectives.
Arthur’s Seat is the highest point in Edinburgh and offers some of the best views of the city. On a clear day, you can get some amazing shots of the cityscape, with the castle, the Forth Bridge, and the Pentland Hills in the background.
The Water of Leith is a peaceful and picturesque river that winds its way through the city. Along the way, there are plenty of spots for capturing the beauty of the area. The light reflecting off the still waters, the colourful houses along the banks, and the trees, shrubs, and grasses of the riverbanks make for some memorable shots.
Edinburgh Zoo is a great spot for animal lovers. With its large enclosures, it’s a great place to get close up shots of the animals. It’s also a great spot to capture the beauty of the surrounding gardens.
The National Gallery of Scotland is a great place to take photos of the city’s art and architecture. The historic building, with its neoclassical columns and ornate dome, is a great spot to capture the grandeur of the city.
