A look at my surroundings...

My new City: Edinburgh



My new Campus: Edinburgh Napier University

Craiglockhart Campus: It was recently reopened after extensive refurbishment. It houses the Business School...

...Its a bit imposing on its surroundings...


A new Castle: Edinburgh Castle
...located right around the corner from my new home!!!


"Perched on an extinct volcano, this instantly recognizable fortress is a powerful national symbol and part of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh...Its story is Scotland's Story..."

A new Experience: Forth Rail Bridge
"There's a contrast in the structure as each spar is led astray
The sunset lingers for a moment as the sun sinks into the spray
A fleeting glance is cast when a movement is seen below,
A train passes by with a clatter dispite the Forth's ebb & flow
We have known the strength of the bridge when passing across it's rails
Ant it's beauty fascinates those of us who have made a contribution with a few penny hails
Then sun sets into being the moment we might gasp & sign whilt there.
Each rivit is then enclosed by the darkness & each second gives us a share"
Matt Rooney, August 2005
