Does any one know what city this plane is flying over? I vaguely remember that this was actually a still from an old film – if so, does any one know what film?
The hills would be Arthur’s Seat, a good climb. The mist in the photo makes them more prominent. It’s an unusual angle the photo’s taken from, the castle looks quite different too. I thought it might have been Stirling , but the railway lines on the left nix that. Great photo!
It sort of looks like Edinburgh.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking but I wasn’t sure. I went there a while ago but I don’t recall those hills in the background.

It is 100% Edinburgh. Arthur’s Seat in the background. Still want to know the photographer or pic name… Anyone??
