	Edinburgh cityscape viewed from Calton Hill A view over the city with the Pentland Hills in the distance. In the background is Arthur’s Seat (an extinct volcano). The small tower is a monument to Admiral Nelson and the acropolis structure is a monument to the Napoleonic wars. The building next to you is the Observatory.
	Central Edinburgh A panorama of Princes Street Gardens.  You can see the Gothic spike of the Scott Monument.  Tracking round to the right, you see the Mound, the National Gallery, the Royal Scottish Academy and finally a glimpse of bustling Princes Street.
	Glasgow and the River Clyde In contrast with the Victorian architecture of much of Glasgow, the area around the Clyde has striking modern buildings.  The structure known as “the Armadillo” is part of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference centre, tracking right you see the BBC TV studios, then the elegant lines of the Science Centre.
	Glasgow Cathedral Dominating this image is the splendour of Glasgow cathedral, adjacent to it is one of Glasgow’s hospitals, built in Victorian times.  The building opposite the cathedral is St. Mungo’s museum of religious life and art.  The red building behind it is the chapel of Strathclyde University.
