High 5: Brian Torry

Brian Torry, 30, a civil servant from Leith, gives his top five sites to photograph in Edinburgh.

1 The Royal Botanical Garden The variety of shapes and colours is amazing.

2 The Royal Mile Even after the festival performers are gone there is still the great architecture like St Giles' and Holyrood Palace.

3 Edinburgh Zoo The interaction and charm of the animals never fails to appeal.

4 The Forth Bridge It's an iconic structure, and the views from South Queensferry are fantastic.

5 The Water of Leith A great walk, with plenty of chances to get good wildlife shots, as well as some interesting views of the city.
