We were supposed to take the 12:30 train back to Nottingham, but Hank and I just didn't want to leave Edinburgh so we stayed a little longer. We went to the Holyrood Palace (where the Queen lives sometimes) and took a tour. Mary Queen of Scots had also resided here so we got to see her bedchamber and other things. I was hoping to see the actual rooms of the Queen, but we only got to see the historic part of the house. I'm sure she's got a pink comforter with a big screen TV and watches Britain's Next Top Model every Monday.
I still wasn't ready to leave. I just love Edinburgh and there is so much we never got to do. So far, Scotland has been my favorite part of this trip. It is such a beautiful city and the people are so friendly. It's the one place I've felt completely at home in. Plus, there is just so much great shopping. I bought a canned haggis. I'm going to bring it to work with me and let the kids try it. Should be tasty!
We arrived back in Nottingham just a few hours ago. It's nice to be back with all of my clothes and stuff, but I wish I had more time in Edinburgh. I never even got to see a Hairy Coo (hairy cow). I guess there's always next time!
Oh, forgot to mention that our hotel had a hair dryer and bath tub. Oh, what wonderful things that I have missed!!
Hi Megan! Ok so i just found your blog and am catching up. Its so fun! If you love Edinburgh you should read a book called 44 Scotland St by Alexander McCall Smith. He writes such cute books and this one (and its sequels) all take place in Edinburgh!
