Edinburgh, Scotland

- From the more industrial Glasgow, we arrived in the more royal capital of Edinburgh - for it's castle centrepiece. With minimal directions to our hostel, the bus thankfully stopped at it's front door on it's way into Edinburgh.

- First off we went on our standard walking tour tour that took us through the amazing old town that remains intact and easily differentiated from the new town. We were told about the history of the city and country, and also some funny stories from yesteryear, ironically by a history student from England.

- The rest of our time was spent walking through the streets of the new and old towns, looking at token souvineers (no - I didn't buy a kilt), and planning our upcoming roadtrip to the north.
