Scottish Windows

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.

I think this one may be my favorite. I am partial to tea though.

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?

  1. 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.

    1. 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.
