Scotland Trip Is Ending; Photos Show Edinburgh's Fitful Weather.

After some brief sun, a rain squall approaches Edinburgh's
Royal Mile at around 3:30 p.m. November 30,
just before sunset. 
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND - My time in this beautiful, small nation has come to an end. 

One of the things I've got left is photos showing the beauty of the area, and the fitful, inclement, but sometimes sunny, cold weather the region sees in December. 

Days are incredibly short in Edinburgh, since it's so far north. Sunrise in early December is around 8:25 a.m., and it sets around 3:40 p.m. 

But we made the most of it, enjoying the brisk outdoors while traipsing around the shops and pubs and historic buildings.

This post is just a sampling of scenic/weather photos, since it's such a beautiful place.

Edinburgh standards on December 1, Highs that day
were in the mid-20s, normal for the season is low 40s.
