20의 로시안가지 명소 & 주요 장소

이 세인트 안토니우스 예배당은 종교 건물이라기보다는 오래된 성의 황량한 폐허처럼 보입니다. 그것은 세인트 마가렛 로치 위의 바위가 많은 돌출부에 서 있으며 북부 에든버러, 리스, 그리고 포스 강을 멋지게 조망할 수 있습니다. 건축이 의심할 여지 없이 주변 지역의 사람들에 의해 지켜졌을 건물에 대해, 세인트 안토니우스 예배당의 기원에 대해서는 놀랍도록 알려진 바가 거의 없습니다. (Undiscovered Scotland)

에든버러의 빅토리아 스트리트는 독특하고 구불구불한 포장 디자인, 활기찬 무지개색 상점 외관, 그리고 2층 구조와 상부 테라스가 있는 특징적인 배치로 유명합니다. 1829년에서 1834년 사이에 지어진 이 거리는 많은 사람들이 해리포터 책의 다이애건 앨리의 영감이 되었다고 믿고 있습니다. (Facebook)

This is how some 200 years ago, bookworms began: "In that lovely district of merry England, which is watered by the River Don, there was in ancient times a great wood... Here dwelt... the fabulous Dragon of Wantley; here were fought several of the bloodiest battles during the Rose Civil Wars..." Through translations, Scott's fame on the British Isles soon spread throughout Europe, even to the New World. The author, who continued to publish his books anonymously, with the reference "By the Author of Waverley," naturally rejoiced in his hiding place over the success – until, by chance, it was revealed that he, Walter Scott, was the author. The honors in Scotland were endless. The toast Lord Meadowbank made at a banquet held in Scott's honor in 1827 remains valid in Scotland to this day: "The beauties of our country... and the fame of our ancestors have been carried by him beyond the shores of this island, to the ends of the earth. He has... immortalized the name of Scotland..." (Text from https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/250-geburtstag-des-schriftstellers-wie-sir-walter-scott-den-100.html )

Especially beautiful at dusk.

The Pentland Hills (a range of hills south of Edinburgh) offer countless hiking opportunities. One of the "best" (= the northernmost) is Allermuir Hill. There are many paths up the mountain, but the best route is undoubtedly the panoramic route from the Midlothian Snowsports Center parking lot to the summit. The center is...???...interesting... (Skiing on mats in the summer is also possible!), and the summit offers magnificent views in all directions!

It's breathtakingly beautiful here! :-)

Busy street but worth a detour

The ruins of St Anthony's Chapel on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh are a fascinating relic from the late Middle Ages. Built in the 15th century, probably around 1400, as part of a pilgrimage centre, the chapel was dedicated to St Anthony of Padua. At the time, Arthur's Seat was a major pilgrimage site and the chapel served as a spiritual stop for believers stopping by on their pilgrimage. As well as being a place of worship, the chapel housed a collection of relics that promised pilgrims sacred experiences. Its architecture was simple but functional and it was built from local stone, blending it into the landscape of the hill. Over the centuries, however, the chapel lost importance and in the 16th century it was abandoned during the Reformation. Today, all that remains are the ruins of the chapel, which sits in a stunning location high on Arthur's Seat. The ruin is a popular destination for hikers and photographers who want to not only explore the historic site but also enjoy the spectacular panoramic views of Edinburgh and the surrounding hills. The St. Anthony Chapel ruins are accessible by a walking trail that takes visitors on a little journey of discovery. The climb to the top of Arthur's Seat offers not only a view of the ruins themselves but also of the vast, rolling terrain that underlines the historical significance of this site. Today the ruins are a fascinating monument to Edinburgh's history and a silent witness to past religious practices.
