On Sunday we took the train to Edinburgh for the first time. We thought about visiting the Leith Festival Tattoo, but decided that there was too much to see in Edinburgh first and that there wasn't enough time to get ourselves to Leith. So we visited the organic crafts and food booths on Grassmarket st. and then visited Edinburgh Castle. We finished off with a pint in one pub and some grub in another. There are two sets of photos available on our flickr site.
Booths and crafters at the Grassmarkets. The kid at the bottom was chasing pigeons around.
Entertainment at the Grassmarkets.
More entertainment at the Grassmarkets. There was also a giant connect four game.

Some plant-life among the stones.

Inside the castle.
Leaving to get some food. There are more photos of the castle interiors on our flickr site, but we weren't allowed to get any shots of the crown jewels or stone of destiny.
We visited a couple of pubs and an Italian restaurant, but this place is where the haggis was had.
I had vegetarian sausages in a Yorkshire pudding. mmmmmm.
