Edinburgh

No one can go to Scotland without going to Edinburgh - or so I've been told many times. And yet, it's taken until my fourth visit to Scotland to make it to this iconic destination. 

Driving in old towns is not fun, so we decided to take the train from Falkirk. That left us with 1/2 mile walk from our flat to the station and then a quick 1/2 hour ride into the city.

Building across from Edinburgh Waverly main train station.

Old buildings reflected in a window.

The Royal Mile runs through the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, connecting  Edinburgh Castle, perched high on a base of volcanic rock, with the Palace of Holyroodhouse

All visits to Edinburgh need bagpipers, right?

And some armor.

Tenements towering over cobble streets.

And finally the castle, towering over all of it. 

Finding gluten-free food is sometimes a challenge ....

but this time led us to some of the best and most unique crepes I've ever had.
