They're from different places actually, I've no idea what Arthurs Seat is though.

The first is up on the hill where the observatory and the Pantheon are, Canton Hill maybe? I may well have a picture of the Scott Monument because I've got another 150 odd photos from the little time I was there, but I'm not too sure what it is lol

The second panorama is the other side of Holyrood and the Parliament building.

lol Good knowledge of Edinburgh :P

Arthur's Seat is the great big hill in the middle of Edinburgh, a very extinct volcano. It's kinda one of Edinburgh's biggest and most well-known tourist attractions :whistle:

The Pantheon and Observatory are on Calton Hill...

And the Scott Monument's a rather tall tower next to Princes Street Gardens, again somewhat unmissable.

Nice shots though :thumbup:

EDIT: Just out of interest, why did you call it Edinburgh 'Castle', with quotation marks?

Quality knowledge, now because I can't remember it do you know the name of the dog that's on a statue/monument that runs off one of the streets from Princes Street (heading into the New Town).

Does anyone have any advice on buying my first digital slr camera? I had a look at a Sony A330 before i realised that I don't really know what to look for.

you probably need to tell a little more about what you intend to do, photographically...

i use a nikon d40x, and it is great, it's a couple of years old so probably much cheaper now too---

Thank you mate. :)

My first slr was a Sony A200, was ok, there was still stuff on it that i couldn't work out after ages of having it. Recently got a Canon EOS 550D and have figured that out a hell of a lot quicker that the A200. Odd really. I was thinking it would be a million times harder based on how much more it has on it, including HD movies.

That sucks. And it's stupid if you ask me. What better qualifications that your actual photos? Good luck anyway man, those waterfall ones are class!

Yeah i agree with you mate. I use Deviantart daily and some of the work on there by people is just out of this world. Makes me so jealous. haha

Thanks again mate. Appreciate it :)
