I went back to Uppsala.
Another visit to Uppsala

Sigtuna rune stones
In the churchyard by the Medieval Abbey in Sigtuna is a rune stone and a couple of fragments built into a small building.
Sigtuna medieval church
In the centre of Sigtuna are the ruins of a medieval abbey.
Sigtuna town
The small town of Sigtuna is situated on the shores of the lake to the north west of Stockholm, was at one time an important city, albeit a small one. Its population has grown significantly in recent years with the arrival of the nearby Arlanda airport.
Steninge Slott
On the way to Sigtuna I spotted a sign to Steninge Slott, a manor house and art glass workshop.
Haga borgruin
In the grounds of Haga Slott are the ruins of an old palace, a building that must have been impressive in its day, but which is now little more than foundations.
Haga Tinghus
The tinghus (courthouse) is a building I had been meaning to visit for a long time having seen it many times from the road – it is in Haga Park.
Haga slott
I’ve driven past Haga Park a number of times – Haga Slott is one of the many royal palaces still in use in Stockholm. It was a beautiful autumnal day with the leaves turning and falling, showing off their best colours.
Cedergrenska tornet
When I visited Inverness I spotted a tower in the distance which I had intended to return to, to find out more. It is now a conference centre.
Gustavsberg
On the way back from Fredricksborg ruin I stopped at Gustavsberg, the home of toilet manufacturing in Sweden.
