Edinburgh - 12.3.17

Today in Edinburgh, we had a late start to the morning and ran over to Ryan's Bar for coffee and a light breakfast. From there, we ventured to hike up Arthur's Seat, a hill famous for its view of the city. From the top, which takes about fourty-five minutes to reach, you can see all of the Firth of Fourth and across to the hills on the far side of the city. As we walked back down from Arthur's Seat, we decided to go on a tour of Holyrood Palace which is right next to the hill. Inside we took an audio tour and learned a lot about the history of the Palace, the Royal Family, and Scotland. We then walked on and explored the Royal Mile, a street full of gift shops, pubs, and cute little stores, all with the old Edinburgh charm. Once we reached the end of the Royal Mile, we headed to Waverley station to pick up our train tickets for the next day. We finished off the evening by eating pizza at an Italian restaurant named La Favorita, and then headed back to the hotel for a good night's sleep.

Today I found these great places/ways to compose photos:

  • Top of Arthur's Seat
  • Park Fence on Princes Street
  • Ruins of the Holyrood Palace
