Today, we anchored off the small town of South Queensferry in the Firth of Fourth. I had scheduled a tour of Edinburgh Castle which Sam and I visited in the early 80's on a bus tour of Scotland. I am happy to report that the castle is still there, still sitting way up on it's extinct volcano, overlooking the city of Edinburgh. Since the buses can't drive up the hill, it's a long climb up the road to the castle. Buildings inside the castle walls include St Margaret's Chapel built in the 12th century, the Great Hall built by James IV, buildings containing the Scottish crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, and many others. We had a couple of hours to wander the castle grounds and check out the shops along the street called the Royal Mile. No, this time I didn't buy anything. Back on the bus, we were driven around the newer parts of Edinburgh, buildings from the 1600s to 1800s. Photos Back to the ship by 4:30, we sailed at 6:00.
