Roslin and Edinburgh

We are staying in a lovely guest house called Chapel Cross Guest House. Very nice room and walking distance to the Roslin Chapel.

If you didn’t know what the chapel was famous four, go watch Tom Hanks in the Da Vinci code.

Pa spent a few moths here staying in Roslin castle when he was a child. His mother’s friend billeted him while she was very ill. He has many fond memories of being in this are, doing what little boys do at that age.

Paul was last here 40 years ago with his parents and also has fond memories of this area.

Read up about the apprentice and the master’s pillars in Roslin chapel. Very beautiful but sad.

We drove into Edinburgh this morning and were overwhelmed by the crowds there. Forget about going inside the castle as you need to book ahead. Today was sold out!!!

Walked along the royal mile andand couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

Paul has bought tickets to another castle called Castle Millar. The Millar hosted Mary Queen of Scot’s. It was lovely exploring the castle. Fewer people around.

Came back for a little nap, cup of tea and a short stroll back to the Roslin chapel for our booked tour inside.

Well worth the trip! Hope you enjoy the photographs.Read more
