Edinburgh - Two lovely days.

So...we are on the eve of returning to Cumbria after our long weekend in the Scottish capital. We have had such a wonderful time.Yesterday we left Nathan in the flat to continue writing his Personal Statement for his University applications and Lewis, Will and I headed out to Blackford Hill.  We enjoyed the magnificent view of the city from the top before catching a bus to the other side of the city for a wander in the Royal Botanic Gardens.We walked home through the city and after dinner in the evening walked back to the Royal Mile for our 'Haunted and Hidden' underground vault tour at 9.30pm.Our guide was Stephanie, with her indeterminate European accent. She seemed quite shy on her first greeting of us but frightened the life out of me as she yelled "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" at the start of the tour, before beckoning us with a finger and coyly adding "Follow me."The tour was O.K. Stephanie was very animated and knew her script but there were three American lads and an Aussie and his loud mouthed girlfriend also on the tour who just made silly comments and giggled through to whole thing. They just showed themselves up and did nothing to make the rest of us feel better about an America under Trump.
