Did you eat at the Beehive across the way? Or at the other one named after the woman they tried to hang? Researching a coaching inn was my excuse. :) Can't remember the name of it. Edinburgh just looks so wonderfully medieval in many places. Sigh. I love it! You only took 100 pics?? I think I took about 1000 in five days. LOL! Ok I am snap happy, I admit. :)Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029641918593787461.post-17049922349571576552011-01-07T13:11:34.878-06:002011-01-07T13:11:34.878-06:00What a great reminder of my all too brief visit to...What a great reminder of my all too brief visit to Edinburgh two summers ago for the Tattoo.

We spent one day in Edinburgh and it was one of the two days it rained so we didn't weather the long walk up the trail to the castle that day. Now we have a good excuse to go back. I can't wait for that day. I can't wait to see and read more. So glad you had a great time. :)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029641918593787461.post-35322894509426562692011-01-06T20:40:41.481-06:002011-01-06T20:40:41.481-06:00These pictures are SO great, Lex!!

If my memory is working I think my dh and I visited a whisky shop near this area. I love the cobblestone streets but with my current mobility issue will have to forgo the hikes on the streets of Edinburgh on our next trip. Bet you had a great view of the Fireworks over the castleJodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983608069357021786noreply@blogger.com
