Published: November 1st 2005

Haggis, Bagpipes and some amazing gothic architecture are just a few of the things me and Timmy got to experience when we went up to visit Tim and Sam in Edinburgh last weekend. I'd heard a lot of good things about Edinburgh and am so glad I made the effort because it more then exceeded any expectations I had and has convinced me to move up there for a few months next year. I cant wait! Highly rec... Read Full Entry

I'm russ, I'm from New Zealand and have developed a love for travelling over the last couple of years. It was the best descision of my life for sure, breaking the routine and heading off to explore the globe, and I would highly recommend getting out there and having a close up look and anything that you've read about or heard about that intrests you, because if it looks cool on TV, I can garuntee you that it'll be even cooler when you are there amoungst it. And if you're stuggling for ideas about where to start, I'd highly recommend buying a oneway ticket to South America and the rest will ta... full info

This guy used to work with me at Tip Top back in New Zealand, but returned to his motherland about 3years ago so it was great to find him working at the Glasgow hospital. Same as ever, plenty of jokes and plenty of interesting opinions on a lot of things, I'm really glad I got to meet up with him while I was passing through too.

real Scotish shot this one

we had great weather all weekend but this photo from our train on the way to the airport is apparently a better example of what Scotish weather is really like. really green though and plenty of sheep so it kind of looked a lot like NZ...

scotland - i'll try this one more time
Hi Russ Well well well, you've discovered my second favourite place in the world - EDINBURGH and Scotland itself. So glad you went there and it's just great that you think it's so neat. As I look at your photos it makes me homesick cos I lived in Edinburgh for a year, and i walked all those streets and saw all those sights. it's just magic isn't it? I think your pics are GREAT. Not sure if you will get these messages. I hope so, but until I see you again 'Och, nay mind the wither. It'll shine again laddie.' Lots of love Francie (your envious aunty who would be over there in a flash if it was the right time to go)
