Covering a couple of days in Scotland today, long post, sorry its late

Apologies for the delayof these posts, been a couple of long days filled with touristy stuff.

To start things off, the house we have here is wonderful; beach is steps away, the rooms we have are comfy and cottagey and our host was very helpful. All of that for a place we are only spending three days in.

The first day in Scotland was spent heading up to arthur's seat, an extinct volcano that towers over the city from its centre. The hike was a long one and we had a couple of scares, but we all got to the seat intact...and back to the bottom after a bit of a detour soaking wet . After we dried ourselves off we headed to the local pub, and were happy to find that the food was warm and cheap, enough so that we came back the next night for another meal.

For our second day we headed to Edinburgh castle, which wound up being a longer tour than we expected. I personally took an audio tour of the castle, hearing about the various sieges, royalty and changes that have happened involving this castle over six hundred years. It was good to say the least, taking five hours of our already late day.  We finished off last night with a fire on the beach, till late at night enjoying the night sky and each other's company.

Today we head to the national museum of Scotland,  see you on the next post!
