Edinburgh

Scotland Trip
Edinburgh @ 230809


Finally, its day for Scotland Trip which we waited for so long. The first stop is Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Again, a historical city. It's a rainy day, however the rain doesn't spoils the mood of visiting, but it carries out the historic and vibrant of the city. I am just in love with it...

A must to visit site in Edinburgh is Edinburgh Castle, which is amazing on itself. However, we do not manage to visit it due to time constraint. A little imperfections of the day in Edinburgh. However, the outlook of the castle itself impressed me. Standing at the entrance makes me feel the gorgeous of the historic building.

The Royal Mile Street, which is one of the most famous street in Edinburgh. It is the historic heart of the city and is full of fascinating links to Scotland. Walking along the street, you cwill find yourself soaked into the atmosphere of Scotland and also the historic of the city.

The Royal Mile Street...
the Scottish dress..i love it
leaflet on the street...is everywhere ;p

The Palace of HolyRoodHouse, which is the official residence of the Queen and the Royal Family. Sounds nice? I guess is attractive as we do not have much chances to visit a palace. It will be a pleasant surprise if I got the chances of visiting it.

Queen's Gallery

A little fun part of the day is, there is a food fair. Entrance ticket is required for the food fair, and the lucky us got the entrance ticket. We tried some local foods of Edinburgh in the food fair, it's yummy. I can't forget the salted grilled fish ;p

another regret of the day was...i missed out the visit toCalton Hill due to a change in plan. Missed out the overall view of the historical city, and also the lovely sunset. Anyway, it's a tiring yet enjoyable day.
