Detail of a metal flower that is part of the East Gate of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.

Clouds reflected in the windows of one of the new (and empty) office buildings that are part of the Quartermile development in Edinburgh on the site of the old Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, just north of the Meadows. Designed by Foster and Partners, it is an interesting and mostly successful juxtaposition of old (i.e. late Victorian) and glass-fronted high-modernist architecture.

A window-slit cut into the Moray sandstone that lines the broch that forms the entrance to the National Museum of Scotland extension, built in the late 90s and designed by Benson and Forsyth. There is a mimoa.eu architecture project on the building.
