This morning we caught the 100 bus from our hotel to Edinburgh Castle. We saw beautiful statues and architecture as we drove through town.
The walk up to the castle is steep but the kids hung in there and did great!
View of Edinburgh from the castle.
The Edinburgh Castle is built on volcanic rock so its really unique looking. The kids loved climbing the volcanic rocks - until we were informed that climbing wasn't allowed. Oops.
The tower where Scotland's crown jewels are housed.
Our little guards.
This picture shows the graveyard for the soldier's dogs. It was such a sweet little area.
We went in St. Margaret's Chapel which was built by King David I for his mother, Margaret. Its the oldest building in Edinburgh, built in the 1100s. It is a tiny little building!
A beautiful building we saw on the Royal Mile when we left the castle.
Street performers on the Royal Mile.
The kids were excited to see a bagpipe player!
I just thought this street was so pretty!
After the castle we headed to The Elephant House cafe where J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books! The line was long inside so we didn't stay and eat.
