After our castle themed adventures in Stirling, we made our way to Edinburgh for - you guessed it - another bloody castle! But to our (pleasant) surprise there was so much more to see and do in Scotland's most happening city.As well as spending a day touring the grounds of Edinburgh Castle, we decided to cram as much adventure as we could into the final city we'd visit before we collected our campervan and made our way through England for 2 weeks.
