27th - 29th April 2011
Glasgow - Edinburgh by train (£7)
We bought the £38 ticket that included 2 days of touristic buses, the entrance to the Castle, the Royal Britania and the Royal Palace.
Edinburgh night hostel £12 per night
It is an incredible city! A magic place to dream :)
The castle is astonishing, it was built in a volcanic hill and today is a great museum that guards the Royal Jewellery, exposes 3 different military galleries, the National war memorial and a War prison exhibition. It is worth to see "The one o'clock gun" from the top point.
This city has a special admiration for the dogs, a pet cementiry in the Castle, Greyfrias Bobby statue... even the guide said (I will never forget that): "Well, I know you are tired of historical information, let's talk about their puppies..." I still have my mouth open because of the surprise!!!
The city is divided in 2 neighborhoods, the old and the new one, and both are UNESCO PH since 1995. I was delighted by the closes and wings (narrow and old streets in the old town).
One of the most beatufil moments was the sundown from Calton Hill and something I personally enjoyed a lot was the Ghost tour at night. Don't forget to walk up the Crags and the Arthur Seat, the views have no equal! And the Scott Monument! Just go and walk and see it all! hehe ah! And the Portobello beach of course!
