Edinburgh, Scotland

Like I said in my little teaser... i loved Edinburgh.  

Friendliest people ever.

Maybe the only drawback was the fact that i gave up on doing my hair.

as you'll soon see.

Also, I wish I had more time there.  but isn't that always the case.

here's our little guide on sweet Edinburgh (:  

... the place J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter

.... and my ancestors hailed from.  

{Walk the Royal Mile: from one end to the other}

{go on a mercat history tour - to the underground city of Edinburg}

{hike up to Arthur's seat... crazy this is an old volcano!}

{go to Hollyrood Palace... sadly it had closed that day as someone was staying in the palace}

{buy all of your clan's plaid if you're scottish}

{walk to Victoria Street ... it is so cute!}

{of course, visit the castle!}

{the botanical gardens are incredible!}

Eat & Drink in Scotland:

{Drink whiskey at The Last Drop, which was literally the place they took people to drink right before they hung them ... we didn't know this until after we got a pint there.  thinking it was so cute. ha ha}

Dinner: Mussels Inn

{sea bass}

{garlic and shallot mussels}

...

We ate here for dinner as well, but sadly i didn't snap any pictures:  The Shore

...

A bite at the Red Coat Cafe for a snack per Aspiring Kennedy's Suggestion too.  

...

Lunch at Larder

{asparagus and goat cheese tart}

Lebowskis.

best whiskey sours. i've ever had.

but then again, i had never had one until then.

nonetheless, i'm certain they can't get better.

now i just need to watch the movie.

{I could get lost in this little Cheese shop forever}

{Don't get me started on how good this fudge is from The Fudge Shop, on the Royal Mile}

Love you, miss you Edinburgh.  

{pronounced eggs and butter as Em explained to me... 

and it really helped me with pronounciation}

:)
