A stroll around Edinburgh- worth it!

A walk around Edinburgh
So we set this morning strolling along the Leith through the olde Dean Village. Sublime. Don’t think the photos do it justice. It was magical. Then to the Scottish modern aer gallery. The height being g the flat white in the cafe there. Activities also included ginga spotting as I’m disappointed in the scarcity and feel the genetic strength is far less than I was expecting.
The afternoon we set off to tour the underground vaults - long story about a big bridge was built across a ravine once the risk of English invasion was gone. They were fascinating but more shocking were the graphic descriptions of how people were treated and subjected to the full raft of atrocities especially if you were a lone woman or child trying to survive. Children were deemed adults at age eight. We lunched in what felt like Dygon alley from Harry Potter. It was actually the home of the man nickel and Hyde is based on.
Dinner was at a lively restaurant called The Badger where we met Barbs noice Katrina who is a scientist researching options for serum diagnostic cancer cells. We very carefully Uber Ed into the city to meet at the right then realised at the end her apartment is less than five minutes walk away. Barbs pudding was called a hoiksoundindscottish name tea cake. See photo. The castle was just above the restaurant and was all lit up. We’re going for a look see Tom before our Ryan air flight to Toulouse.
13000 steps today. So that justified pudding.
The last photos are of the tiny wee scissors I bought on temu. Used the to operate on Trudy’s blister so feeling pretty damn smug about that.Read more
