Day 8 - Brief update

We had another over the top amazing day. We had a good but unremarkable breakfast. The highlight was Jill ( our host) who slipped us an extra scone each but told us not to tell her husband, who bakes them.

After breakfast we headed to Edinburgh castle and spent almost four hours walking around inside, and I'm not sure we saw everything. We were standing looking down on the one o'clock gun when it went off.













From there we walked about half way down the Royal Mile and then back up to the Witchery for a 3:00 dinner. With tip it was £130 for a very delicious three course meal in exquisit surroundings.















We walked from there down the Royal Mile to Holyrood Palace but it was closed when we got there. We debated hiking over Arthur's Seat to our B&B but not for long. We were exhausted.






We hiked back up the street to North Bridge where we caught a bus back to our B&B. When we got back Doud was taking scones out of the oven. We told him how much we loved them and how good they smelled. Shortly after we got in our room he was at the door with two still steaming scones and they were delicious.






Tomorrow we hop a Rabbie Tours bus and head to the Isle of Skye. Home of Talisker single malt whiskey.
