Edinburgh, Scotland

This last weekend, I spent in Edinburgh, Scotland. We stayed in a AirBnb about 20 minutes outside the city center which was nice and quiet - and our host was so so sweet. Saturday was spent at Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles Cathedral, the Scott Monument and getting Scottish pie and Pimm's. Sunday was another site filled day with Holyrood Palace and the neighboring park where we walked up the mountain and Calton Hill with the National Monument. Holyrood Palace is where the Queen stays during her visits to Scotland - so cool. It's also interesting because the facade of the palace facing the courtyard has the Classical orders featured in the architecture - Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. The park next to the palace was being used to its full potential with people sitting next to the pools of water and climbing up the nearby mountin. A busy weekend, but a beautiful one. Til next time Scotland...
