12th May Edinburgh
We were allocated a
separate bus tour to view the sights of Edinburgh starting with the sheer
volcanic cliff which rises majestically over the city. Perched on top of that cliff was the castle.
We spent most of the day in the castle then explored the narrow streets & parks that make up Edinburgh.
