We arrived in Edinburgh on Tuesday evening. This is Wednesday afternoon. We all serendipitously met at the top of High Street aka The Royal Mile. Jen Bartley and I stayed for about an hour after the rest of the clan had left. We were able to see the crown jewels, the room where Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to the king, the stables, the dungeon, and the officer prison. The hallways were small and the dungeon was small and probably packed tight as can be.
Prince Charles and Camilla were in Edinburgh during our visit. I did not see them, but the castle was all a bustle.
The history of the castle is amazing. The cost of the tour is worth it, but the audio tour was not. The headphones were about $6 american. Everything on the audio was also written in a cool book which Bartley bought. Buy the book.
The gift store at the castle gave free tasters of scotch. Try it if you want and if you are 18.
