Edinburgh

Hello! After our stay in Iceland, we were off to Edinburgh, Scotland! Our flight was relatively late, so we didn't see any of the city the night we first arrived (we got to our hotel around 1am!), but bright and early the next morning we were ready for some sightseeing!

To continue the trend of hiking and visiting natural landscapes, we first visited Arthur's Seat, which is a large landform that overlooks the city and is from volcanic activity. It was a bit of a steep climb, so that was rather challenging, but it gave us a great view of the city (and a sense of where everything was, since we did not yet have a map).

Here are some of the views of the city… this one is from Calton Hill, despite looking like part of Greece or Rome!

This is the Holyrood Palace, where the Queen stays when she is visiting Scotland.
