Edinburgh after sunset this evening, taken from Calton Hill, a great vantage point. The prominent tower is that of the Balmoral Hotel, once the North British railway hotel. By tradition, its clock is always kept a few minutes fast…..

Walked from Chinley to Edale today; pleasant enough but the forecast sunshine never materialised and the wind higher up was a bit brutal!
