Down a side street somewhere
Edinburgh castle + tourists
Portcullis (spelling?) through which you enter the castle. By this stage we had already crossed the outer and inner barriers.
Looking through wall down onto Edinburgh
Edinburgh New Town I think. As seen from castle.
What havoc you could wreak. Its a cannon by the way.
The train station and possibly some of the Old Town
The water in the background is called the "Firth of Forth".
The man shoots the gun at 1pm. It is loud. Im pretty certain it is empty.
Cemetery for soldiers dogs.
The Mons Meg. A big siege gun.
Lance and Karen sitting on the ammunition for the Mons Meg. It was used to punish adulterous women (kidding).
A building in the castle
War Memorial to Scots who dies in all involved wars.
In Soldiers barracks in castle. Blade things on either side are Claymores.
A Claymore with basket broadswords in the background.
Lance playing dominoes in the prisons of the castle.
Lance and Karen in one of the many guard boxes in the castle.
The outer wall of the castle with authentic gas powered torch in foreground.
A taste of Scotland (ignore the food, it wasnt ours) - an ale, and a single malt.
Some idiot in front of our hostel.
A Scottish breakfast. Clockwise from left: toast, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, haggis, black pudding, tomato, hash browns, egg. Awesome.
Down Royal Mile towards the Palace of Holyroodhouse (unseen)
I think its a church.
The Queens gallery in front of the Palace.
The forecourt of the Palace.
The front of the Palace.
The front of the Abbey of the Palace. It is pretty much ruins.
Inside the Abbey of the Palace.
A close was a side street back in the old days. This one contained all the "Fleshers" or Butchers.
