Hop-on-hop-off- Grass Market
8 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
Shhhh, don’t tell! We doubled up on Jim and Donna’s hip on bus tickets today. We caught the bus at 9:45, rode the whole loop, then back around and off at the Grass Market.
The Grass Market used to be for the sale (and purchase) of any animal that eats grass. Good name I think. It was a good place for lunch and a walk around. Nearby was another street claiming to be the inspiration for J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter.Okumaya devam et

National Museum of Scotland
7 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
In a country with human history that goes back to the 600’s. Any museum that attempts to chart this history would be huge, and the museum of Scotland is indeed huge. Oh and beyond charting the history of the people the museum has floors dedicated to: aviation, animals (Dolly the cloned sheep), geology, textiles and innovation. Basically anything in Scotland! We tried to focus on the human development and sociology but after 3 floors of that and 3 more to go, our brains were tired. We wrapped up our day looking at race cars, and an incredible mechanical clock. Luckily it’s free so a second trip is possible.Okumaya devam et

Edinburgh Castle
6 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
At the other end of the Royal Mile (the road that connects the two) is Edinburgh Castle it is the main focal point of the town. This dominates (and shouldn’t all castles dominate?) the skyline and the hill of Edinburgh. There is too much history to get in to here, so let’s just say that the old parts are really old 1100 and the castle is still the main base of the Edinburgh Military guard. It is also the home of the Scottish Crown Jewels which is beautiful red (no photos) and the entire castle is considered the ancestral home of the true Scottish Monarchy.
As is fitting a castle, the views of the surrounding area are spectacular.Okumaya devam et

Holyrood Palace
6 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ 🌫 50 °F
We are so happy to host our first friends who took us up on our “visit us wherever we are” option. Jim and Donna, (friends I met in Ecuador, and fellow world travelers) met us after their visits through Europe.
We took a very short walk to visit our neighbors home (ok it’s the Palace at Holyrood) but fun to say it’s our neighbor. Lots of walking in and around inside the Palace. There’s a headset so you get all the info on what you are seeing sent right to your ears.
This Palace is actually the home of the Royal families when they are in the area, which is fun to think that they walk the same hallways.

Oh, no photography allowed inside the Palace. So just a few of the garden.Okumaya devam et

Sunday Roast
5 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
Edinburgh, and all of the UK for that matter, have many restaurants that feature a Sunday Roast. Roast beef, rustic vegetables, gravy and a Yorkshire pudding (the roll/pastry thing). My mom who grew up in Manchester would frequently cook a roast beef with vegetables and it is truly a home cooked meal for me. Now we search them out each Sunday.

Today was extra nice as we ate with my cousin Shirley and her husband Lee. They met us in Edinburgh for the afternoon. Sunday roast was extra special with family.Okumaya devam et

Edinburgh Parade
5 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
Our last adventure in Edinburgh was 2019 and we walked through the town with flaming torches on Hogemany. The Scottish celebration on New Year’s Eve day. In that case, walking with the flaming torch had us, as the parade. This time the parade was for peace, or ecology, or global warning, or worker’s rights. It was hard to know which as every group was included. Still colorful and there were bagpipes so very Scottish.Okumaya devam et

Portobello - The sea not the antiques
4 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F
The next town up is Portobello. More people and movement than Musselburgh. Complete with a small boardwalk. Very active on this Saturday with beach volleyball (in sweats) a community pool, and a gaming place with coin pushers that used actual .02 pence and the possibility to win actual money (no age restriction)!

We stopped at an Oceanside restaurant and I had fish and chips. I’d call it more fried fish than fish and chips but still tasty and a large portion.Okumaya devam et

1 Planet 1 Bag And a view of the ocean in the front yard. This is a town women folk and families came to for the summer. Kind of a weekend home.

Musselburgh - Fishermens Festival
4 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F
The ocean is closer to Edinburgh than we expected. 20 minutes on the bus and we were in the small beachside town of Musselburgh. We picked today to visit as it’s their annual Fishermen’s Festival. It was small beach village at its best. The people were warm and the gathering was happy. The local vendors were creative and many used items they found on the sea shore. For geologic reasons the sea shells on the beach are unbroken and you can scoop them up by the bucket full.Okumaya devam et

Gezgin This nice lady told me that she had knitted everything on the both herself. She took up the hobby during the Covid lockdown. She said the work on the table was about a couple of weeks of knitting for her. It was just wonderful home craft work.

Craigmiller Castle
3 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Although this castle is still in Edinburgh it felt a world away. Not an only a world away because there were only 4 other people there, but yes, a world away because they filmed several episodes of Outlander there.

The more we travel the more We love how little structure there is when touring places in other countries. There were no monitors telling us to “stay out of there”, “Don’t touch that”, “Use the handrail”, “don’t fall off”. As a matter of fact it was the opposite. We were told to touch anything, there was a rope as a handrail, and few places had little more than a turret to save you from falling. Everyone who visits is left to themselves and to their own level and interest to walk around and explore. So refreshing that this country believes in the best of people, people will be polite and considerate and somehow survival of the fittest will win out.Okumaya devam et

Walk around Arthur’s seat
2 Mayıs, İskoçya ⋅ 🌬 52 °F
Today I took a walk around the mountain named Arthur’s seat that we see out the windows of our apartment. It is in the center of Holyrood park, a park of mostly grass fields and wilderness next to the parliament building and royal castle. It took me about an hour to circle the mountain.
Many people were also on the path. All in better shape than I am.
I’ve got 4 weeks to change that deficit.Okumaya devam et
