    1. Lot of old stone buildings. I had to be quick to catch the lady with the blue hair.

  3. The stone buildings are beautiful. They add a lot of charm and character to the city. Looks like walking there might have some catch-your-breath moments with all those hills!

    2. The tartans were in a custom kilt shop. Colors like that attract me.

    1. Unfortunately not, that was a quick shot from the top of an open top bus tour.

    1. The hotel I booked was a block from the Royal Mile, and about 100 feet below it. The climbs were a bit much, and it was warm.
