Edinburgh Scotland - September 2023


We had the wonderful opportunity to visit Scotland for the first time in Fall 2023.  We based ourselves in Edinburgh in a cozy AirBnB just off Princes Street.  
We spent several days visiting all of the Edinburgh sites - Edinburgh Castle, National Museum of Scotland, walked the Royal Mile, Dean Village, Victoria Street.  Many miles walked!  
We took the trolley down to Leith and visited the Royal Yacht Britannia.  This was one of the highlights of the trip for me!
We took a day trip to Glasgow in the rain and rode the Hop On/Hop Off bus all the way around town.  The Cathedral and Necropolis were stunning!
Another day trip was by train to St. Andrews.  Greg had to see the golf courses.  We also enjoyed walking around the ruins of St. Andrews Castle and along the sea.  Lunch here was a memorable pub visit.  
Our last day trip was an organized tour with Rabbie's - The West Highlands, Lochs and Castles Tour.  This all day tour was just perfect.  A small group tour to Loch Lomond, Doune Castle, and Luss village.
We fell in love with Scotland and can't wait to go back!
