Manchester/Scotland 2025 - Edinburgh Waverley Station and Sir Walter Scott

 

Photo of the exit we came out at from Waverley Station. There are a few exit, and this was the one closes to our hotel. We actually went to deposit our bags at the hotel first, but since we were still early, we couldn't check in yet. So we decided to go back to the station to look for some food as we've spotted a Mark and Spenser inside the station.

The small but crowded Waverley Station waiting lounge. The main highlight was the ceiling design. You would often see this in social media post on the station. So I also wanted my very own photo. I did thought it was rather crowded. But I've seen worst in photos posted by other people.

Here is a wider view.

While walking inside the station, I also noticed a Great Scott! Exhibition kinda being displayed all over the place. I have no idea whether it was permanent or just a pop-up, guess I'll know when I visit again. But I love it so much I went around taking photos of all the word display I could find. It seems everything was by Sir Walter Scott, a Scottish author.

The wordings can be found all over the station. I bet I missed a few as I didn't really went into all the places. I only captured those I saw on our way to or from our destination.

 

Something about story telling seems to be a very strong concept here in Scotland. And my my do they have amazing stories to tell. Even now, I often watch one influencer sharing stories and folklores or Scotland. I find them all so fascinating, especially their faeries, and monsters. Very Very cool! 

Some wordings to ponder and stay curious in life :)

Leaving you with this one. You can also find a similar heart on the road at the Royal Mild :) I like how Scottish people seems to love reflecting on things and talking about it, from their movies to their songs to their poems and stories. One of my favourite comedian Danial Sloss is Scottish , and he has this amazing set called Jigsaw that really makes you ponder about love. I was going to go watch his show when he finally perform in Singapore in 2026, but the irony of it all, I'll be in Scotland when he is in Singapore -________-
