I love what they have done with Edinburgh- all credit to its decorator. I spent several hours yesterday at Edinburgh castle. Among the many great attractions at the castle the highlight was viewing the Scottish crown jewels. I tried to visit Holyrood palace, but someone important was staying there so it was closed. As a consolation I visited the nearby Scottish parliament building and was underwhelmed. I had a look through the Bank of Scotland museum and the better bits of the Scottish national museum. This morning I visited the Brittania, the former royal yacht (decommissioned in 1997). It is a lot bigger than I had realised. It must have been fun for the royals. I spent the afternoon at Rosslyn Chapel, an amazing gothic church, which was featured in the Da vinci Code. It was genuinely spooky. I caught up with Olly in the late afternoon, as we were both very coincidentally in Edinburgh at the same time. I was having a better time though, Olly had just had a very tough exam.
