Day 5 - Edinburgh Castle

We are back in Edinburgh!! We will not relive our last experience here, since that involved ale and BBQ pizza, but how fun to be back!! We had the best local tour guide for the morning. He wore his kilt even though it was freezing out (and a little breezy we must say!) His lips were getting a little blue at times, but his voice never faltered. You could probably have heard him in Glasgow!
After a short bus ride, our guide took us to Edinburgh Castle. What a difference it makes to have a guide and not get there when they are about to close! We spent time walking through the buildings and enjoying the scenery.

Apparently the gate in the bottom picture was hit by a delivery truck. Our guide was joking that the accident broke one of the supports and that we should run under. We found out later that it was true and was only supported on one side! Well, we made it. It was like extreme sightseeing.
