Scotland - Edinburgh

We set off early on Monday morning for Edinburgh, bearing in mind that it is a 2 hour drive from where we are staying - to get almost anywhere takes around 2 hours, as the roads here, whilst being in good condition are narrow and carry a lot of traffic. The speed limit on most is 60MPH, but you are lucky to do 45. Arriving in Edinburgh, we went to the Dungeon, which different from the one at warwick and entertaining. After that we did Edinburgh Castle, where we hasd lunch in one of their restaurants(btw, the restaurant served an exxxxellent fish pie - slightly different from what would be expected. Made with lightly smoked Salmon, haddock and mashed potato instead of pastry.) After that we did the walk down the Royal Mile and were then off to Princes street and the gardens for some shopping and extra fantastic views of the Castle. If we had the time we could have spent 2 days in Edinburgh.
