View from King Arthur’s Seat.

My attempt at a cairn…Notre Dame goes everywhere.

View of Edinburgh Castle.

Fun fact about Scottish royalty. They constantly had their crown jewels stolen especially the Stone of Destiny, a special coronation rock. They eventually reclaimed it from Westminster Abbey, where it sat under the English throne. After all this hype, you would think it to be a beautiful stone, but it’s really just a concrete slab.

Testing our skills as Scottish knights.

Incorrect logic: Scotch whisky will taste better in Scotland. It’s still terrible.

Beautiful sunrise on Day 1. Our sleeper train arrived promptly at 7AM.

Elephant House: the famous café where J.K. Rowling began writing the Harry Potter series.

 

The bathrooms inside are covered with notes from loving fans.
