Mahri, Kat, Amy, and I went and explored Edinburgh Castle. Why can't California have castles? I want one!
Okay. It was awesome. Think about it. I was inside that.

Pretty, yeah?
It was really frustrating, because a lot of the especially cool stuff was so old that we weren't allowed to take pictures of it. Like the War Memorial. That was a really solemn place that left me feeling very quiet... It was beautiful.
Or these, the Honors. (Honours if you're using the British spelling...I think :)
There were some seriously awesome wax works....

We explored the museum inside the castle....

This was what was left of a door in the dungeons. An American prisoner had apparently been kept there during the American Revolution, because he drew a picture of a boat with an American flag on it. I even circled it for you, see?
I felt a lot like Riley from National Treasure when I looked at this. "Is it a....billion dollar pipe?"
We took a picture in a prison cell. Don't ask.
We inspected the barracks from the POW's during WWII, and pretended to eat the fake food set out at the table. =)
We headed into St. Margaret's Chapel.
This was St. Margaret's missal:
Amy really loved all the red telephone booths. So on our way home, we made her stop and pose.
We got fish-n-chips from Giuliano's and took it to the flat to enjoy. I love authentic fish-n-chips!
Random Fact: In Scotland, instead of saying goodbye, people say "cheers".
Wheeee! What fun we had. :-)
ReplyDeleteI miss the telephone booths! Waaaaah!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Giulianno's fish and chips were FABULOUS. Go back to Scotland just for those.
I know!
