Right, this is the final part of our Scotland trip. We jumped on a train from Glasgow Central and arrived in Edinburgh just over an hour later.
When we got there the first thing to do was figure out how you navigate the place. It's the only city I've been to where there's a uber old castle overlooking the highstreet, very charming stuff.
Pulling shapes with shadows
The plan was to have a nosey around some shops and grab something to eat before we tackled a tour of the castle. This was my idea and a massive mistake, we we're knackered by the time we walked up what seemed like a perpectual hill which led to the castle
Pretty amazing looking fountain in the park, which surrounded the lower part of the castle. We chilled out here for a bit with an iced coffee
The way up to the main event was a total tourist trap, this t-shirt certainly grabbed my attention
View from the top. Edinburgh is by far the most beautiful looking city I have ever been to, most of the places I've visited tend to be more on the modern side. It made for a great change. Shame we missed the annual Tattoo
This one reminds me of old family holiday photographs you see
It was quite a weird feeling looking through this vantage point, it was hard not to think about what would have happened here in the past. This was one of my highlights actually, this places really does have history coming out of its ears
The business end of Mons Meg
The best view in town, you could see right down onto the highstreet which we stood on about 3 hours previous (Zoom in to see the detail)
The city was riddled with history and I only wish we had more time to explore and soak up the sights. The plan was to go to the the Grassmarket after the castle but we were so knackered we just ended up going for a pizza and beer. All in all it was one of my favourite days in a long time. Glasgow and Edinburgh couldn't be more different, both great but in very different ways.
In other news, the end of uni is upon us. I graduate this Friday, big day so I'm told!
