Camera Obscura: not your typical attraction Jun 07, 2008
I spent two days in Edinburgh, Scotland with really only one day to see the sites the city had to offer. I heard about this place on a travel show I saw on TV, so I figured I would check it out.
I had a lot of fun in there. It has a lot of optical illusions, hands-on exhibits, holograms, and of course the live panoramic view of the city. From the roof of the building, you can also get a nice view of the city. One of the sillier things that I enjoyed was a glass box with singing cats and a dog playing the piano. If you go to Edinburgh and want something fun to do, I would definitely check this place out! |

After the visit at the camera obscura, I walked a little on the Royal mile to catch the bus to Holyrood palace. The guide at the camera obscura mentioned that the Queen was there, so I probably want to get there to see if I am lucky to catch a glimpse… Edinburgh |

After the visit of the castle me and my parents went to the Camera Obscura and my brother with his girlfriend did some shopping. We loved the Camera Obscura and much more the rest of the exhibition. Normaly you don't get to play with such devices like the giant plasma balls and looking at optical illusions.

We wandered back through town checking a few things out, like an abode of Robbie Burns and the Edinburgh Camera Obscura, the idea of which still fascinated me even though Clifton Camera is less than 2 mins walk from the Mall. I still can't get my head around the view projected onto the concrete bowl! V.Cool!! After lunch we took… Pack y' sporran, we're headin' North |

We departed this exceptional tour keen to dive further into Edinburgh and checked out the Camera Obscura. You might be familiar with this centuries old device that enables great views…but it is a quality exhibit we did not regret and thoroughly enjoyed the visions of downtown Edinburgh .
… Edinburgh! |

Camera obscura ( http://www.camera-obscura.co.uk/ ), the real Mary King's close ( http://www.realmarykingsclose.com/ ) and the Holyrood palace ( http://www.royal.gov.uk/OutPut/Page559.asp). We were supposed to visit also the Edinburgh castle, but our host told that it's not worth paying 10 £ go there… a weekend trip to Scotland |
