11 Oct 06 Edinburgh
So busy busy through October with visitors all month! Erin from Vancouver dropped in to stay a week and we traveled up to Edinburgh. “If it ain’t Scottish it’s crap!” What an incredibly beautiful old city to spend a few days in :)
We rode the tour bus, we bought tartan wool scarves and blankets and Erin picked up a gorgeous Scottish tam with pom-pom on top. We climbed a bit of a mountain called Arthur’s Seat in the center of the city. Near the top a cheerful old chap gave us toffees from his pocket.
We sang some traditional songs with a quartet (complete with accordian and hand drum) in a local pub, toured Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse and sampled some haggis.
Here’s a couple of photos:
