    Last day in Scotland-Portugal bound

    January 9, 2017 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

    Blustery rainy day today. I toured Edinburgh castle today for 5 hours. Lots of history. I had no idea that the Scottish were so involved in wars; Waterloo, Independence, WW1&11, India, Africa, Afghanistan, the list is endless and they fought in their kilts! Whoa how brave! They are known as warriors, fearless, sense of humour and proud. It was a great interpretive presentation at the castle. Mary Queen Scots was crowned when she was 8 months old and beheaded when she was 25. She was married at the age of 15. The Scots loved her the British didn't. Walked the quarter mile and I found new places to check out. Lots of shopping for kilts and woolen items in this city. Sunshine bound tomorrow and so excited!Read more

    youonlylivetwiceCheck the height requirements! They had to pay for their own uniforms and it was said that the sign ups were only for the well off
