Is this different from how it normally looks?

Dean Village? No, it pretty much always looks like this.

Same. Thought it was just a photo, then realized it was a gif and thought "something" would happen when I played it and then still nothing else happened lol.

Similar-ish to a chav in the general UK parlance. Just with more alcoholism and solvent/heroin abuse.

Ah right, is it the novelty of Dean Village in Stockbridge that caught your eye? You on holiday in Edinburgh at the mo?

If you go westwards from there the grounds of the Museum of Modern Art are a nice find

Why is it pronounced this way?

NavyAnchor03 t1_j2u8zl4 wrote

So if you say it slower as bur-uh(gh) it makes way more sense as to how it's pronounced that way. Saying "bur" fast enough turns into a "brr" sound, and "gh" is typically pronounced as a soft "uh"

However, there's an Edinburg, Texas, pronounced ED-inn-burg.

needitcooler t1_j2vndce wrote

Because the English and Scots just make shit up. For example, why do they pronounce "schedule" as "shed-u-all", but call a school, "skool". Is the "Sch" part of these words somehow different?

−10

Scarlet_Breeze t1_j2vz7rv wrote

I don't know any English or Scottish people that pronounce schedule with a soft Sch sound.

nerevisigoth t1_j2wiqa7 wrote

That's the standard pronunciation in the UK. Hang around a train station and you'll hear it in the announcements constantly. People who consume a lot of American media or work with Americans might say it the American way.

I've lived in England my whole life and never heard anyone pronounce it with the soft sch sound irl.

Oh fuck you with your gorgeous fucking architecture, you utter fuck!

I'm sitting here in California, USA, where the oldest building in my immediate vicinity is maybe 70 years old and falling apart.

I fucking hate that you get to live surrounded by this beauty!

I'm kidding, I'm super jealous and I love visiting Europe. You guys are the best people and your architecture is mind-blowing. Please post more beautiful buildings for me to rage at.

I’m sitting here in flat, boring VA, USA thinking the same about you in CA. At any point, you’re no more than 3 hours away from the beach, the mountains or the desert. You have nine freaking national parks! Grass is always greener my friend

FluffTruffet t1_j2wq0ht wrote

Isn't VA pretty close to the Appalachian mountains and the beach as well? Weather permitting of course? Obviously not the Sierra Nevada or the Rocky mountains but there's some elevation there

ShadowDV t1_j2wuq3y wrote

To be fair, the Appalachians are much older and have much more (geologic) history than the Sierra Nevadas or Rockies :)

Edinburg is one of the nicest and architectural cities I’ve ever seen. Frankly I thought London and the other major cities in the UK were like any other city in the world but Edinburg was really memorable.

Botanic Gardens

Edinburgh Castle

Museum of Scotland

Whisky Tasting

Parliament

Holyrood House

Climb Arthur’s Seat/Salisbury Crags

Get chugged on Princes St

Have a seagull nick your pizza in the Gardens.

That’s the main tourist stuff. Reddit likes to promote Edinburgh and Skye as Scotlands main draws but there’s lots else here to enjoy.

Sorry I was being facetious. There are trout there but you're not allowed to fish right there. It's in middle of the city. Upstream you can with various restrictions like fly only. But if you live in Scotland you're spoilt for choice so no one going to fish this kind of scenario.

That river is weird, it doesn't look natural. Is this the normal water level? It feels like the building is almost below the river level. They definitely ran into water while digging its foundations.

quick look suggest you need a tourist visa for the UK, you can likely contact The British Embassy in Ankara for more details on the exact visa demands, or call an airline before booking tickets they tend to have a good idea of the entry requirements.
