Scotland's Capital

A four-hour train ride later, we arrived in Scotland’s capitol: Edinburgh. It is a busy city built around Edinburgh Castle on Castle Rock. It is rich with history and was the involved in many historical conflicts in the Wars of Scottish Independence. Although Edinburgh is still part of the United Kingdom (for now), it is much different from London. The architecture looks older and more Gothic, the food variety is different, and of course there are many men wearing kilts.We only spent one night in Edinburgh because it was only a stop on our way to Inveraray, but we managed to explore a large portion of the city.



We spent the night at a small bed and breakfast. It was quaint, but with four people sleeping in one room, tempters were short, haha.

Next, we go to Inveraray, where my ancestors from the mother's side lived.
