Day 17: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Park

The weather was beautiful for a trip around Edinburgh Castle today.



We had about a half hour guide with a pretty entertaining guide.


We went through the historical leadup to seeing the Scottish jewels and it was a cool explanation with lots of paintings and displays.





After leaving the castle and eating at the fancy Witchery restaurant, we walked down the Royal Mile.



Instead of heading back to the apartment for an afternoon nap, Stephen and I went down by the royal palace and then into the Holyrood Park.



We discovered a pond filled with swans, alongside seagulls and pigeons, down a small hill from a ruined chapel.
