Since I'm often intrigued by the little shops and sights along our street, I thought it might be fun to post a few pictures of the things we see during our daily strolls up and down this end of the Royal Mile. Stepping out of Browns Close, you are greeted by the following sights:
This little tea room always has delectable smelling soup luring customers inside.
The daily selections are displayed on the chalkboard next to the door:
One of many little grocers along our street:
The view down the pedestrian alleyway behind our close:
Not all the sights are foreign....
This little garden is tucked behind a close just a ways up from us:
A smattering of the leaves that I love to walk amongst:
The primary school building across from our house. I love seeing the children out during recess, playing in their ever-so-British uniforms.
Looking back down the Royal Mile towards our flat:
The historic site of the Edinburgh Tollbooth, formerly used for collecting tolls, hosting the city chamber, holding court hearings and housing prisoners.
The Tollbooth now houses a museum reflecting the lives of ordinary people in Edinburgh throughout the history of its development.
Another museum just across the street...
I love the name of this charming storefront - "Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe"
