Scotland

Well I know its been a couple of days since I got back from Scotland but I have an adventure to tell you! We left the manor around 8 am, and drove for about 8 hours, but we stopped a couple of times so it took a while longer. Once we finally got to Edinburgh my friends and I walked up the Royal Mile and to Edinburgh Castle. We got to the castle just as the sun was setting and it was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen in my life. We did a little bit of shopping while we were on the Royal Mile and I finally found the stickers I've been looking for! After all that shopping we were famished so we found a pub to eat in called Deacon Brodie's. After dinner we were walking back toward our hotel and stumbled upon Mary King's Close and "The Real Mary King's Close" tour, that was really cool we went on a tour of the underground city was the filled in or built over from the 16 and 17th centuries! The next day we got up at 7 to eat breakfast and we finally got to go inside of Edinburgh Castle and saw the crown jewels and the stone of destiny. We got to go on a Scottish Whiskey tour and try Whiskey, I tried the speyside, and I liked the taste but it was too strong for me. We ate lunch at a little Italian restaurant I had vegetarian cannelloni and some dessert that was like a chocolate ea clair. It was amazing! We went to the Scottish Museum and saw the Maiden and Mary Queen of Scot's casket I guess? and then went to the Elephant house where J.K Rowling started writing Harry Potter. We then went to Grey Friar's cemetery and saw Grey friar's bobby and saw some of the tombstones that J.K. Rowling used to name some of her characters. We then caught a cab that took us to the North Sea, and we also got an American History lesson in why we should support the GOP, I laughed at the man and said thanks for the advice and swiftly got out of the cab. After we watched the sun setting on the North Sea and I got to touch it we went back to the royal mile and ate dinner and went back to the Hotel, then Elizabeth and I went to Hard Rock and also found a beautiful Bar that was built over 100 years ago and then went back to the hotel and slept. The next day we went to Haidran's wall and saw the oldest bath house in England, then went to Durham and saw Durham Cathedral, absolutely beautiful!
