• Lallybroch and Edinburgh

    May 19, 2024 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Final day of the car hire today, and we have a short drive into Edinburgh.

    On the way we visited Midhope Castle, better known to Outlander fans as Lallybroch. The interior of the house is derelict and can't be accessed, but they're raising plenty of funds for restoration by charging £7.50 view it from the outside.

    We drove into the city centre to drop our bags at our hotel, before heading back out to the suburbs to drop the hire car off.

    We caught the tram back into town and had a walk through Princes Street Gardens, then wandered back to our hotel to check in.

    We enjoyed another walk late afternoon, and the streets were even more crowded than earlier, mostly with tourists. Our route took us along the Royal Mile and past Edinburgh Castle, before returning to our hotel for a welcome dinner before starting our cruise tomorrow.
