Day 9 Continued

Scotland's weather decided to be normal today, so Bob and I needed jackets. It was cool, windy and damp. The misty fog never really lifted. But we toured Edinburgh Castle nontheless. We tooked a guided tour and it was very interesting. Some of my European History from high school was trying to come through the recesses of my mind. The earliest part of the castle was built in the 1200's. Other parts were built up until the early 1900's. It was pretty amazing as castles go. Anyway...after that we walked down the Royal Mile, a street lined with some very old buildings and lots of shops with Scottish items and memorabilia. At the other end of the Royal Mile is another castle, the Palace of Holyrood. (I wanted to say Hollywood.) But we didn't get over in time before closing. Maybe tomorrow...
