Scotland!

Last week we spent 4 days in Edinburgh, Scotland. And I absolutely loved it! It was probably one of the highlights of the trip. The 4 1/2 hour train ride was pretty uneventful, but once we got to Edinburgh I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It's definitely a city like London, but a lot smaller and more manageable. And everything is so old, but in a really beautiful way.

When we arrived we hiked up to Arthur's Seat, and after some slipping and sliding, we made it to the top. It was SUPER windy, but the panoramic views of Scotland were incredible. We also toured Edinburgh castle and walked the Royal Mile, which I loved. Bagpipe music was pouring out of each store, and there are kilts everywhere. Seriously. I loved it! I love that heritage and culture is still such an important part of the Scottish lifestyle. Men still wear kilts, and each family name has its own tartan, or style of plaid.

The Edinburgh castle. So cool!
