Here is the second part to my recount of our Edinburgh trips, the first part is here: Edinburgh – part 1. This post is more outdoors, but just as cultural, and a little more historical: Princes Street Gardens and Sir Walter Scott Monument We walked through here whenever we could, right by Waverley train station, [...]
This time last year we visited Edinburgh, not the first time we had been there, but the first time exploring the amazing city (the first time was going to a lovely wedding). We loved Edinburgh so much that we went again last month, where it was still autumnal and not too cold. So here is [...]
