UK Road Trip, Summer 2017
Walking tour of Edinburgh with overly enthusiastic guide. Good tour with lots of actual history mixed with local folklore and Harry Potter connections. To be continued tomorrow with visit to the castle. Can't get into the Palace because the Queen is there! Walked to the water, the Firth of Forth. Not much happening there but the Britannia is parked there. Also found Peppa Pig and her brother, George.
Dinner at our local Italian restaurant. Everything else was closed. It's easy to lose track of time when it stays light so late. Sunsets at 10 pm but still light at 11!

Lois Goodstein Bloody hell! A Jacobite force came within meters of capturing the Edinburgh Castle during the Rising of 1715, but the ladder they brought to scale the ramparts turned out to be too short. Planning is everything.
