Edinburgh

Well, one week ago today we were in Edinburgh. It was much more busier than I expected, verging on a par with London. The difference being that people in Edinburgh looked at you rather than avoiding eye contact at all costs. On occasions when through mis-direction I almost walked into someone, we both 'apologised'!

Edinburgh itself was simply stunning, apart from the tram system that seems to be distroying the road in the main part of the new city...I was advised not to mention the 'trams'.

The old part of the city was great, the castle upon the hill and the surrounding roads and shops were very picturesque.

The only downside, if there was one, was the drive back. Driving there, the last part of the journey was on the A68, very picturesque, very quiet road and brought back pleasure to driving. The last part of the return journey was A1 - A14...it felt like being on a race track.

On the road....

Well...I will hopefully have some pictures of good old bonny Scotland very soon. We have a trip planned to Edinburgh. One place that I have yet to visit.

Actually I have only been to Scotland once before, on the West Coast near Ben Nevis, so again this trip will be a first.

Everyone I have spoken to have said they love Edinburgh, so I am really looking forward to going now, and can't wait. I am expecting something verging on a cross between Cambridge and Bath...

Camera batteries will be charged and I hope the weather will be kind, dry if nothing else. So wathc this space.
