Edinburgh (2)
The old part of the town is where the "fun" was for me! Lovely!
On the Lonely Planet's recommendation, i covered the main road in the old part of town - The Royal Mile!
It starts off at one end with the imposing Edinburgh Castle.
As i've been in there before, and we din really have much time, we gave it a miss. But if you can afford it (time and money), spend at the very least half a day there!
From the Edinburgh castle, you can have some pretty nice views of the town, the old buildings. Loved it! :-)
Just outside the Castle, as you start to walk along the Royal Mile, there are many sights to see - the Camera Obscura, the Scotch Museum, the Highland Tolbooth Kirk. There was also this Tartan Weaving Mill and Exhibition - it was free! ;-)
There were mannequins on display...
...and real people doing the weaving!
And loads of cool stuffs on sale!
Oh, keep an eye open - you'll never know if you miss anything unexpected and interesting!

Edinburgh Castle
It would have been difficult for invaders to try to get into the castle from the side or the back.
