Edinburgh 5 Day Scottish Adventure

I visited  Edinburgh on 1 August. Following a crazy 2 hr delay to get luggage and faced with limited tram service due to construction, I was delighted to arrive at my lovely B&B about a 10 minute easy stroll from the madness, as the Edinburgh Festival was about to kick off.

The throngs of people everywhere make navigating the streets challenging, but with my game plan, I was ready.

My Agenda:

• Food Tour: GREAT – a must for any visitor/   www.eatwalktours.co.uk

• Royal Yacht Britannia: Fun.

• Real Mary King's Close: OK.

• Camera Obscura: Fun.

• St Giles' Cathedral: Another large Gothic cathedral.

• Edinburgh Castle: Pretty awesome!

• Johnnie Walker Experience: Good, easy fun, but overrated.

• Calton Hill: Awesome, the BEST!

  

  Highlight of my trip – a MUST.

• Finally, try and understand the Scottish English… never an issue

The Royal Tattoo started the day I departed. The city is easy to maneuver but the weather is unpredictable, a few more titbits;.
