Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, situated on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. With a population of 495,360 (2011) it is the largest settlement in Lothian and lies at the centre of a larger urban zone of approximately 850,000 people. While the town originally formed on the ridge descending from the Castle Rock, the modern city is often said to be built on seven hills.

 Loch Lomond is a freshwater Scottish loch, lying on the Highland Boundary Fault. It is the

largest inland stretch of water in Great Britain by surface area. The loch contains many islands, including Inchmurrin, the largest fresh-water island in the British Isles, although the loch itself is smaller than many Irish loughs.

Save money without sacrificing health benefits when you add these nutrient-dense edibles to your grocery list.

If you simply must have a French fry, then make them at home in your oven. Use sweet potatoes, as these are a more complex carbohydrate. Cut into matchsticks, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil along with a dash of salt, then place in your oven on broil. Turn every five minutes until the fries are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.

We're having a heat wave and the slow cooker keeps it cool.

Maison LeMonnier in the French Quarter

I lived for years across from the first skyscraper in New Orleans French Quarter. 

Some pix and history.

Dr. LeMonnier’s home, on Royal St. in the French Quarter in New Orleans, referred to as “New Orleans’ first skyscraper” which towers three stories high. In the foreground are the elaborate cast-iron gallery railings of LaBranche House. It is one of the most photographed residences in New Orleans.
