Edinburgh

There’s a real positive energy about Edinburgh.  Although I’ve visited several times before, recently it’s always been for work so there’s never been time to savour the delights of its bloody, ancient history.  But last week we visited as fully fledged  tourists with Richard and Mavis.  We explored the Castle which was preparing for the Tattoo before wandering along the Royal Mile.  We learned of the street’s grisly past by following a geocache trail to Holyrood and the new Scottish Parliament before returning to the centre via Princes Street and homemade ice-creams!!  A great day out was had by all!
