I got out of Our Dynamic Earth, and I saw this beautiful hill.

People were climbing it and my heart just raced, I need to climb too

The first steps and probably the last set. The rest of the path was rocks and dirt.

A view from the top.

Seems like there was a fire!

More to go.

Had to climb down that

Then I discovered there was a grassy path from the road going up hill It would’ve been easier but less fun.

More to go.

A rocky path

A little more.

Done

Going down. Those tiny stones are tricky, I was slipping and grabbing air

Finally, after time of being totally lost , I ended up at Holyrood park which I found on the map and managed to find my way to the cinema

Not all these windows were built at the same time. St. Marget’s Church, people can actually get married here or hold a baptism, for 20 people only that is.

You can attend plays potraying different eras in Scotland history. They look so cute wearing skirts

Prisoners of war!

Wars Scotland has been in.

Even dogs had their own cemetery.

The ticket booth queue!

Just book online and collect your tickets and don’t forget to write down your booking reference number.  You can’t even see a queue

Go on their free guided tours, it’s informative and funny. It only takes 30 minutes and then you can explore on your own.

The Scott Monument

The stairs are very narrow and you get kind of dizzy from twirling your way up! It is very difficult for two people to squeeze up/down, so you’ll hear shouts, “Coming up” , “Going down”.

A view from the top, Edinburgh castle.

A beautiful wonderful amazing part of Scotland

I got off at Waverley railway station and walked. Everytime I go to a place I get myself a map, they are usually around the railway station and for a pound. I couldn’t find one and thought to get one later from any shop.

My breath was taken away by their beautiful mountains and hills. The brown, the black, the green, the blue … amazing.

As soon as you walk around, first thing that sticks to your mind is the music, their Scottish music being played everywhere constantly. People on the street, shops and restaurants.

It is a historic place, I went to museums, Edinburgh castle, the Scott monument, climbed a hill, took a tour, etc. The most amount of walking I have done in my life, I am feeling the aftermath already but it was worth it.

I got lost because I didn’t have a map but then I got one and found the light at the end of the tunnel

If you are one of those who come to UK frequently but always go to a single spot, London for example, you are missing a lot! UK is filled with interesting and amazing places to go and they are only a train trip away.

I’m in LOVE with the Scottish accent. Though I need to read their lips and listen hard to make out what they are trying to say

“Please taaake yourrrr rucksack off and ‘old it in yerr ‘and”

I’m not sure if he said rucksack, backsack elmohim, I need to take it and hold it in my hand for walking inside the museum

The way they pronounce their “R’s”, I guess that it is the fascinating part and they speak on the low level. And Scots have their own language too, Gaelic.

Someone was asking me where I was from and then started asking me where I went and where to go, most of what he was saying I could not understand, I opted to a random select of Yes/No answers but I could listen to them talk all day

I’ll be posting my pictures soon but they don’t do the place any justice at all.
