One quote from Shakespeare is “The eyes are the windows of the soul.” What are windows a portal to? Edward Gorey once said “My favorite journey is looking out the window.” Sometimes my favorite journey is looking at windows. Here are some windows from towns within a short drive from Edinburgh, Scotland.
Mehmet Morat Ildan is quoted as saying “If you want people to understand you, invite them to your life and let them see the world from your window.” You get to see a little bit of this person’s world through the window in the wall surrounding their property in the picture below. You get a nice view of their back garden.
Mehmet Murat Ildon once said “It is not possible for a house to own a spirit without windows with flowers.” The window below looks quite lovely with flowers perched on the sill.
These windows make me what to live in these houses and towns. How do they make you feel?

You ask how the windows make me feel? After viewing you photos, I am so curious about how the rest of the houses look!
I enjoy reading your blogs. They are perfectly short and sweet.

I would love to see the inside of these cottages as well. I have seen the inside of a few rental cottages friends stayed at in Cornwall. Many times the interiors are quite modern but maintain a rustic flare. I love the wide walls that give deep window areas.

I love photographing windows and imagining the homes within. These have such character compared with UVPC double glazing!

Yes, these older buildings have much more character. I love the wide walls and the deep window sills.

I would love to go back and see more little villages. It was my first time to Scotland and I decided to do a couple of day tours which seemed rushed.

I am in the Balkans now and I am doing a couple of tours as well. Unfortunately when you don’t have the time but you want to see as much as possible it is like this! š

I figured the first time I would do two day tours. If I go back I will go myself as slow as I want.
