Edinburgh

Today we began our day by hiking up Arthur's Rest. Quite a hike and quite a wind.After we returned the car to the downtown train station, we spent most of the rest of the day in the Edinburgh castle. William in the guardhouse.William in the POW dungeon.
Me in St. Margaret's Chapel
A view of the castle on the rocks.
The front gate with William Wallace on the Right and Robert the Bruce on the Left.

We spent the rest of the early evening walking on the Royal Mile, a shopping street. I wanted to walk in the park, but the security said that as there are no lights in the park they close and lock it at 6PM.
Prior to the year 1800 the park was Nord Loch which functioned as the town sewer, water reservoir and as a handy place for drowning witches.
