My first trip to Scotland and where better to start that on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. I took a walk past the shortbread and tartan shops and visited The Real Mary King Close, an underground old town of narrow streets and houses, where our costumed guide took us round and recreated what life was like for the people who lived here. It was a bit touristy but I was feeling like a tourist today. After taking a tour of Holyrood House I decided to tackle Arthur's Seat, the hill which is adjacent to Holyrood. It was a beautiful sunny day and I could see people high up the hill, but it was a steep climb and so I opted for a walk around the lower slopes, enjoying the view over Edinburgh. Lots of families were out enjoying the weather; it was a really lovely spot.もっと詳しく

Wet and Windy On the Forth Bridge

I decided to take a train to Queensferry and walk across the Forth Bridge because, well I like walking across bridges. I found the footpath up to the road bridge and despite the wet and windy conditions I enjoyed the bracing fresh air, and the view of the iconic rail bridge to my right, and the new road bridge to my left. I was overtaken by a lady pushing a pram. Oh well. South Queensferry is quite a pretty little town for a wander, then up the long steep set of steps, which wore me out. to get back to the station. In the afternoon had a wander around Edinburgh Castle accompanied by a torrential downpour and crowds of foreign tourists, probably not the best way to see the castle.もっと詳しく

Train Ride to Stirling

After the disappointment of Edinburgh Castle, I took the train over to Stirling to visit the castle. Now this is a proper castle, where you can walk on the battlements and gaze out over the landscape and imagine the battles that have been fought here, and descend down steps into underground vaults. Set up high above the town, I tackled the steep walk to get to the entrance, rather than take the tourist bus from the station, which negotiates the narrow and crowded approach road with inches to spare between vehicles and the brick wall. The same bus took me over to the National Wallace Monument, to climb the 246 spiral stone steps to the top of the tower. There are, thankfully, rooms on the way up where you can look at the exhibits and take a breather (if you need one). Fantastic view from the top is worth the effort. I really enjoyed Stirling and it was an easy trip from Edinburgh, only 50 minutes on the train, and the sun was shining.もっと詳しく

Today I took a bus over to Leith to visit the Royal Yacht Britannia which is permanently docked alongside the Ocean Terminal shopping centre. I was quite early so only a few other people on board as I took the audio guided tour around the decks. If you are a fan of things royal, this is definitely recommended. You get to see the bedrooms, lounges, the elegant dining room where corporate events are held, and pose under the ships bell, and go down to the engine room. I imagine it gets quite busy later in the day, so I was glad I'd made an early start and was able to linger. In the evening I took a free Ghost Tour which started from a meeting point on The Royal Mile. There are lots of similar tours to choose from, but I always like to get something free. Our guide told us tales of grisly events from the past and alleged ghostly sightings as we walked around the streets, and we ended in Greyfriars Cemetery as dusk fell. It was not a very scary tour, more of a history tour, but standing among the headstones in the fading light was certainly atmospheric. A really great few days in Edinburgh with so much to seeもっと詳しく
