All the pics are fantastic but you with the brew is my favorite so far. Love that pinky action. Wally at the top is a cool shot too!
I'm always impressed when people post trip reports midtrip. I don't know where they find the time.
Terrie - Loving the photos! Quick question....we'll be in Scotland in a month. Is the path up to Arthur's Seat obvious? I knew it was high, but didn't realize it was so.....rural. We plan to hike up there as well.
I loved the Tattoo pictures. That looked amazing! If we had gone in August, we were going to get tickets, but instead we're going over in September and hoping for football tickets instead for the kids.
Enjoy your trip. It looks wonderful!!!
The path going up is obvious. Just be careful coming down. I managed to come down an alternative route. My DH was watching from the correct path as I am about to lead my DD off a rocky incline. I realised just in time that it didn't feel quite right. It can be quite bracing at the top and you might end up being quite windswept and interesting. I love the views from Arthur's seat - you can see right across Edinburgh and the contrast of the Scottish Parliament and The Palace of Holyroodhouse. You can also get a free guided tour of the Scottish Parliament which explains some of the story behind the architecture. It is just across the road from The Palace of Holyroodhouse so can easily be combined. The guided tour of the parliament takes an hour and can be booked online.
Thanks so much!
Awesome photos! I laughed as I passed by your Sterling Castle pics. One looked vaguely familiar... (sorry for my mini thread hijack)...
here we are 11 years ago!
I'm so excited to see your pictures up north - Isle of Skye and Lewis. That should be absolutely amazing.
Glad you are enjoying the surprises - there are more to come!! Love those shoes - they are darling!! We also marveled, wondered, and shrugged when we saw the Parliament building ("what were they thinking" is the only thing I could say!!)
Anyone else in need of an update???
These adventures are so packed! I'm sure she'll get back to us when she can. I can't wait either!
Or the wifi gods may not be smiling at her. But it's likely a combo of both!
Sayhello

Calypso726 - Hope you enjoy the rest of your adventure.
What football match do you hope to go to on your trip to Edinburgh?
