Day 2

After an informative meeting at the palace in the morning, we got a tour of the estate.
The ground keeper, Cameron, is showing us the old stables.  He also has some good falconer friends, Aidan, who can take you out hunting this summer.

Girls, I think you know how to and should be able to help with these critters...


Inside the stables.


Edinburgh Castle.  I didn't have time to go in.  Robert the Bruce is right above my head.


Another evening of Scottish folk music at an Edinburgh pub.


A wee bit home...  This is the Scottish barkeeper.


A view of the castle for my walk today.  Signing off until tomorrow.

Fun first day!

Well, I haven't really slept in about 40 hours, but I've been having a blast.  Here are a few highlights...
The view from my room in the palace.

Me sideways in front of the palace.

The carved stone flying buttresses of Roselyn chapel.  You should see the carving in the inside!


Live Scottish folk music in a pub.  Great Scottish beer as well.


My first Haggis.  Actually quite good!

Now it is time for bed!  I miss you all!
