May 28 Edinburgh - The Royal Miles

Walk, Walk, Walk.    About 6 miles plus miles today. 

The highlights are: the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle, the new Scottish Parliament building, St. Giles' Cathedral, a trip down the Royal Mile and the Queen's Palace of Holyroodhouse.   We had a great quiche lunch at St. Giles' outdoor cafe, mussels and fish & chips at the Mussel Inn and a pint at Dirty Dick's.  Just short of 12 hours of sight seeing, eating and drinking.

 The Elephant House is the coffee house where J.K. Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book.


A picture is worth a thousand words, maybe.

This is the "backyard" of Holyroodhouse.  The extinct volcano in the background is called Arthur's Seat.  It's a short hike that offers a beautiful view of Edinburgh.  See if you can see the hikers.
A pint before we headed to the hotel.
