    Today was a walking day and of course ir rained on us.
    First it was up to Calton Hill to look out over Edinburgh, see the Nelson and Burns monuments
    A quick look in Old Calton Cemetery,. Opened in 1718 , it is where notable Scots are buried.
    Fun fact : a lady buried her amputated leg there 32yrs before she died.
    Over Northbridge to the Royal Mile. Not quite what I expected, so many tourist shops.
    Stopped to go inside St Giles Cathederal, a UNESCO site, where they had an exhibition about the archaeological dig they've done. They've found graves inside the Cathederal dating back to about 1150.
    On the way home stopped at Mark and Spence foos hall to get something for dinner. Nobody must cook here, There're so many ready to heat up dinners.
