il Giardino Romantico

話說雖然內部都不能拍照，但是羅斯林的禮品部也不是蓋的。到了這個時候，該花的不該花的都花了。所以身上只剩下足夠帶我們回城裡搭車回利物浦的公車錢。看到喜歡的也只能看。整個禮品部都是想敗回家的物品。但我最後只買了一張30p的明信片寄給某人。所以才會拼命的把想要帶回家的東西通通都拍下來。反正，按下快門：免費！

Even though it was a little disappointing that photography was not allowed inside the chapel, the souvenire shop alone was enough a compensation for what my camera had missed out.  I'd already over spent my budget at this point, and had only enough coins for the bus ride back to catch the coach back to Liverpool.  Since I was unable to actually buy anything, I took loads of pictures of the things I might have wanted to take home, if I had more money with me. 


小聖誕樹

鑰匙圈
Key chains


五角星與聖殿騎士十字。
Pentacles and templar crosses.


還真的忘了這是什麼....
Can't remember what the symbol stands for...


磁鐵的造型是『學徒柱』。
Frigde magnets in the shape of the apprentice pillar.


主柱、學徒柱、以及佈滿整個羅斯林的綠人。
The main pillar, the apprentice pillar, and the green man, well men...


每一本都想帶回家好好啃的書...
I would buy the whole bookshelf, if I could.


又見綠人。
The green man again.

整個羅斯林大概有一百多個綠人雕像。但沒有人知道為什麼這種非基督教的象徵物會出現在這裡。而且還有這麼多個。這大概又是一個永遠都解不開的謎。

There are over one hundred engravings of the green man.  No one, however, can seem to comprehend the reason why this pagan symbol is so ubiquitous in this chapel.  This is one of another mysteries of the chapel that might never be revealed.


聖殿騎士熊寶寶。

寫到這，我終於可以宣佈【愛丁堡】遊記系列告一個段落了。才完個一天半，遊記竟然可以拖到四個月才寫完。雖然我覺得照片出來的效果沒有很好，但希望大家喜歡這個系列的遊記。如果你最近才剛近來花園，不嫌棄的話可以翻翻想看的舊文，慢慢品嚐。

Now, I can finally announce that my Edinburgh travel log has come to an end.  It took me four months to write out what I did for a day and a half.  I find that truly amazing.  Although the pictures didn't turn out to be as impressive as I hoped they would be, I hope you have enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.  If you have only just found my blog, you are more than welcome to read the earlier entries on your own.
