We spent 4 days In Edinburgh and a lot of eating, walking and hiking and dodging thousands of tourists! Guess it’s the height of the season and on some streets, it was actually hard to walk. We escaped for some hikes in areas that most tourists don’t go..but still… many ,many double decked HUGE tourist buses to dodge. All the pubs are packed and we tried to have a beer at a couple and couldn’t get in, so ended up at hour hotel for happy hour. On the way to Edinburgh , we stopped at St. Andrews and visited the famous golf course where it costs about 700 pounds to play a round. We also went to St.Andrews university and it was impressive. We went to another castle too. In Edinburgh we hiked Carlton Hill and the big one, Arthur’s Head…. Which was a bit challenging. We hiked it on a rain threatening day…and yes, we got drenched on the way back. Edinburgh is so old, has so much history
, and also so many people. I am looking forward to flying to SHETLAND tomorrow but we have to be ready at 4:30 AM!!
