Day 88: Falkirk to Sunderland

Tickets to Linlithgow Palace this morning. Did not disappoint. The last of our Outlander sites. Into Edinburgh for a Thai massage before walking around this amazing city.

Checked into the Grand Hotel beach front accommodation and I felt like I was in a Clark Gable movie. The largest room we’ve had with ocean views. Walked to the nearest pub packed to the rafters to watch England make the final of the Euro Cup 2024. Atmosphere was electric. Everyone was so friendly and kept talking to us.
