Amazing,

very amazing pictures you got there... the place near the sea side you took in marine drive jasto dekincha. That area leads to Portobello Beach and its near Silver Knowles I think. Looks similar there is a famour bridge as well somewhere further left its called Forth Bridge another grea landmark in ediburgh which  links edinburgh to Fife. Did u find some nepalese restaurant there is one gurkha brigade in heart of the princess street owned by Nepali dai who is a super good rocker and singer... if u wanna enjoy the good nepali food and music he is the Man to look for loll.. keep the picture coming....

As for the man in blue paint he has been there ever since I was in Edinburgh.

cheers!
