Located in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge neighborhood, Circus Lane is a charming cobblestone street. The street is lined with several Georgian and Victorian-style mews houses, many of which feature colorful doors and flower boxes.

The area of Circus Lane is mostly residential and could once be considered a hidden gem. However, in recent years Circus Lane has gained popularity with photographers and Instagrammers as it is a perfect place for photos that capture the historic charm of #Edinburgh.

Hey Hugin, where is Munin?

"And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!"

(Edgar Allan Poe, "The #Raven")

The Scottish American Memorial, or Scots American War Memorial, is in West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh. It was called "The Call 1914", and it was erected in 1927 and shows a kilted infantryman looking towards Castle Rock. Behind the main statue is a frieze showing queues of men answering the call by following a kilted pipe band. The memorial was given by Scottish-Americans to honour Scots who had served in the first World War.

Lest we forget.

On the west side of the Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh is the Ross Fountain. Sculpted in the neoclassical style by Jean-Baptise Jules Klagmann and originally cast at the foundry of Antoine Durene in Sommevoire near Paris.

This remarkable sculpture has at its base, mermaids, cherubs, walrus and lion heads while at the top there are four female figures which represent science, arts, poetry and industry - a nice shot here with Edinburgh Castle in the background!
