I feel so lucky to come from such a green place and yet remain so close to Edinburgh’s heart. On Friday night I left Moscow and I arrived back at my hometown in Scotland for a few weeks. I live in Duddingston, a former village suburb dating back to 1093 - it has since been swallowed up by Edinburgh’s expansion. It lays on the edge of Holyrood Royal Park, a 700-hundred-acre playground which features a dormant volcano, natural lochs and coconut-scented yellow Gorse cliffs.
It’s very much off the beaten path as far as tourism is concerned and it boasts several attractions such as The Sheep’s Heid, Scotland’s oldest pub which is often frequented by Royals. Bonnie Prince Charlie notably held his war council in the house next door to my own before the Battle of Prestonpans in 1745, and the village is also well known as the setting of Henry Raeburn's painting ‘The Skating Minister’ from the 1790s. I took this photo during a late Autumn walk on Sunday afternoon.
#homesick. Thanks for sharing the wonderful autumn colours of Edinburgh

SA really is incredibly, I do love living here but I'm Edinburgh born and bred. I left when I was went to Uni and only ever went back to visit family for weekends. Since moving to SA though I've had a few longer stays in Scotland and embarrassingly only explored the highlands for the first time as an adult on my trip there in July. But if you flew back in from Moscow you must know what I mean. Edinburgh looks even more beautiful the more time you spend away, and can get a break from the drizzle!
