| Another great view. I love looking at all the old and new buildings mixed together! |
At the castle we decided to skip the guided tour and walk around ourselves. I'm pretty good at directions and maps, but the castle map was pretty confusing. Luckily I had Brianna to act as my tour guide and lead the way! It's great to have a travel buddy!

The castle was huge and we got to see the throne room, living quarters, prisons, and go through multiple museums. They also had many beautiful memorials for the men who died in war. My favorite part was just looking at all the buildings and architecture. It's amazing how people were able to create this beautiful castle without the help of modern day tools!

Queen Mary of Scots bedchamber's fireplace. Makes me want to get a blanket and curl up next to a fire!

After our nice tour of Edinburgh castle we got some tasty ice cream on our way out. We ended the day by going to the Scottish National Gallery. It was filled with different styles of paintings from all around Scotland. Unfortunately we only had 20 minutes until it closed but we still got to enjoy most of the museum!

I think today went a lot smoother as we had more rest and a better grip of our surroundings. I can't get enough of just walking around and site seeing! Can't wait for more!
