sunset on the crags

About this memory
I used to live near the Commonwealth Pool, so with easy access to Holyrood Park and Salisbury Crags. Being able to escape my flat, my studies, my worries by walking up to the crags always felt very special and gave me such a sense of calm. I have lived in other cities where it’s just not possible to find such a beautiful space to think and just be right in the city centre.
