It’s officially cherry blossom season, so here’s a round up of your prettiest pics
Edinburgh is so pretty in pink
Viola BakerThis is arguably one of the worst times of the year in Edinburgh, as those pesky things called finals and exams make an appearance. However, there is a pink silver lining to be found as it’s also cherry blossom season.
Edinburgh is pretty all year round, but the end of April is the best.
The Meadows becomes a pink fairyland, where archways of beautiful pink petals turn your dreaded walk to the library into an aesthetic scene from a movie.
It’s also physically impossible to not stop and take snaps of the pastel pink trees, with full-on photoshoots becoming the norm on Jawbone Walk while the blossoms are out.
If you don’t take a candid pic of your bestie walking under the trees, are you really friends?
So with that in mind, here’s a selection of your best Edi cherry blossom pics:
This should be a magazine cover
