Gordon, a local guide, took us on a tour down the Royal Mile and although we had walked up and down it before, discovered lots in the back courtyards and heard many stories of old Edinburgh, mostly murders and hangings. The sun came out and it was bright and warm for most of the day. We took a tour of a Georgian House in the New Town which basically took up the daylight part of Sunday. We were handed free tickets to a play in the afternoon and finished up the night at the theatre, in a church. The play and actors were excellent. No wifi at the unit so am managing at cafes to keep in contact, so these posts might be irregular for a while.
“The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson
