Yesterday Luke and I finally had the chance to visit the Edinburgh Castle. The castle sits on top of an extinct volcano. It's easy to understand why the Scots decided to build this fortress here because you would need a lot of luck to storm this castle.
We didn't take these yesterday (they were taken at the beginning of September when I first arrived), but they might give you a better idea of where this castle sits.
Now that you've seen the outside, lets go inside the castle walls. I would have to say that Edinburgh Castle is definitely not my favorite that we've been to. Because it's in the capital, it's definitely a tourist destination and really reflects that. We did to get to see the crown jewels which were quite impressive but we couldn't take pictures in there. You can see a picture of them here if you're interested.
But it was a great day. The sun was out for most of it so we got to soak in some vitamin D. And I finally got to hear (and watch) the one o'clock cannon.
The Great Hall was probably my favorite room. There were suits of armour and swords all over the place.
Because the castle sits so high, you get some amazing views of the city. Take a look.
And here are some other random shots.
And my favourite!
We love you & miss you!
Aubs, Luke & Luther
