After Rosslyn Chapel, we had some time to walk around in Edinburgh. It was sunny, so we thought it would be a lovely afternoon just to browse around. It wasn't until we got a few blocks from the bus that we realized why everyone looked so disheveled. The wind was blowing so hard it practically knocked you down! Anytime there was a break in the buildings, you had to brace yourself to get up the street. Enough was enough! We found the Hard Rock Cafe we saw from the bus earlier and sat down to have lunch. (We wouldn't discover the Hard Rock Bruschetta until London, but our lunch was still good.)It was only the end of October but Christmas decorating was in full swing. Harry was appalled that it was even Halloween yet. We had been seeing signs everywhere about reserving space for Christmas Parties, so we weren't really surprised to see decorations.
The second picture is of a monument to Sir Walter Scott . Hard to imagine a monument like that for an author anywhere else!
