After some time on the continent, we were off to the British Isles. These doors are from our first day in Scotland, where we stopped in Edinburgh. I have heard that Edinburgh is the model for Diagon Alley from the Harry Potter series. In the spirit of Harry Potter, I thoroughly enjoyed the names of some of these establishments:
Lots of flowers and nice places to sit, but it was a little early for lunch, let alone a drink.
Or live music.
It was a very pleasant walk to the park and university, though, and we followed a virtual geocache to see other sights. Scotland was also having an unusually warm and sunny summer, which benefitted us tourists!
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American Eastern Time), on the linky list at Norm 2.0’s blog.

I’m sure that this is a bustling spot evenings and weekends. I wonder how many bad jokes and puns Dirty Dick’s generates on a daily basis – oh the poor service staff 😀

I bet they like the bad jokes and puns (at least the owners do), if all publicity is good publicity!

Well you had me at pubs and eateries. The doors are nice, of course… but there were libations and food?

There would be later. But we were there early in the day because that’s when our cruise ship docked. I took a lot of door pictures on this trip and I’m trying to group them by theme so they don’t get completely overwhelming!

It does have Harry Potter kind of feel to the street. 🙂
