Edinburgh...always in my heart.

Assalamualaikum wbt.

When I was 12, my mother took my family and I to Edinburgh, Scotland for two years while she studied in Heriot-Watt University. It was the most wonderful time of my life! I went to Tynecastle High School which was not very far from our apartment in Dalry Road. I made lots of friends, gathered new experiences with the 4 seasons and learned their culture. My best friend was Katrina Cooper whom I have lost contact because when we were to go back to Malaysia, she moved to England and didn't have her new address yet. I googled a few pictures which I remembered.

This is Dalry Road which I walk everyday to school for 2 years. So many sweet memories and I thank Allah for the opportunity of staying there. He has open the path of my mom's future to study there and brought us with her.



 Craigie's farm where my mom took us to eat all sorts of berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, peaches and many more. I remember my mom digging out potatoes!

My beloved high school! Tynecastle! Though today it has been moved to a new much bigger place quite close by. I had the most awesome 2 years of schooling here. I love the system, the teachers, the classmates, the 17 subjects and everything!!!


 Gorgie Farm is just across the road from my school and I go there almost everyday during my lunch hour of school. I just love the animals. I avoid the pigs, though! :D
 My mom likes to take us to Car Boot Sale on sunday. The books are so cheap! And so are many more items!
 Last but not least, along Princess Street is the most beautiful scenery I would always remember. How I wish I can go there again and walk along the gardens of Edinburgh Castle.
