Edinburgh


Hi everyone,

This is a quick and dirty travelog from our trip to Edinburgh. We found the city fantastic, complete with a large palace on a hill, lovely wide streets in the Georgian section and full of mideaval and 17th century history. Here is the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, the Royal Mile and the docking place for the last British Yacht, The Brittania. In our three days exploring the city we enjoyed them all.

The first picture is the Palace at Hollyrood, where the queen is in residence every summer when she is in Scotland. It is here that we saw the Scottish Honours - or crown jewels, which had been hidden in a trunk for a number of years - a real treasure hunt story!

More in a minute,

Alana
