Home to the Scottish Monarch
There's just something about old castles and stormy skies that speak to me in black and white photos. I think the 17th century Baroque architecture of Holyrood Palace, pictured here, looks even more mysterious and foreboding with this photo treatment. I would believe this was a vintage gothic print if I wasn't the one who photographed the palace.
It wasn't until my second visit to Edinburgh that I decided I should take a look at Holyrood Palace House. This is the official home of the British monarch in Scotland. From what I've read, however, outside of an official visit in the summer, the Royal family spends a lot more time at Balmoral than in Edinburgh. That's a country estate, so I guess it makes some sense, but Holyrood Palace in the heart of Edinburgh is picture perfect in my book. I'd happily live there.
