Edinburgh photographer, Chris Mackenzie, was out taking shots of the fireworks display last night and has sent us some of his best photos to show you!
Chris said:-“I went all round town yesterday looking for a suitable vantage point. We started off on the cliff tops of the Crags above the Radical Road and then checked out Calton Hill. I’ve been there before but this year I really wanted something a bit different. I checked out The Bridges but felt that we would be in the way of tourists and the public, so we opted for the roof of Princes Mall thinking that it was a great spot. We were next to the lift that takes you into Waverley now. We turned up there at 7.30pm to ensure that we got our preferred space! It was in a corner out of the way with limited line of site. I had to edit a ladder out of every shot! During the evening my assistant built up a great rapport with a couple and their son who was visiting the medical faculty with a view to studying here. Everyone had a great night!”
Thank you Chris for sharing these lovely shots with us.
