Day in Edinburgh

Slower start today as it will be a late night at the Tattoo in Edinburgh. Cooked breakfast with the goodies left in the fridge for our four day stay. Eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausages, bacon, and toast with the lovely Palace jams and marmalade.

Looking forward to a tour of the castle - perhaps tomorrow morning.

Drove to Edinburgh and parked in a carpark walking distance from the Castle. Walked along Princes street - a little tourist shopping and busker watching - and then found our way up to Gleneagles where we had a 2.30pm High tea. Little more creative than the others we have had. Started with a mini mushroom cappuccino followed by warm tasters. Lovely selection of tiny cakes which were all delicious. We left the scones to the end but couldn’t quite finish them.. Beautiful building and decor - right down to the washrooms!

We spent most of the afternoon there then walked back to the car to off load a bit. We called into a little pub for a drink and a break on the way called The Queens Arms. Things were very busy around here due more to the Edinburgh Festival the than the Tattoo I think.Read more
