Edinburgh

Another day on the road this time to Edinburgh .

The Firth of Forth rail bridge

Sleepy little village of East Queensferry on the way to Edinburgh.
The local childcare children were playing at the community garden.

We were fortunate to get tickets for Edinburgh Castle, so later in the afternoon we climbed the hill to the magnificent structure. Even though it was a bit of a rush I’m pleased we made the effort and saw it.

Edinburgh Castle on the Hill

My best bit was Saint Margaret’s Chapel. A tiny little stone structure that it is thought used to be part of the big tower and was built in 1130.

St Margaret’s Chapel. I loved the simplicity of the structure and the unadorned interior.

Of course the Great Hall and the Scottish Crown Jewels were magnificent but the chapel left an impression.

We came out of the castle gates and back down the Royal Mile.

Lots and lots of people even at the end of the day.

Thanks for reading my blog. Keep reading cos tomorrow we leave the UK.

Ka kite ano.
