Scotland Part 3: Edinburgh

While we were staying in St. Andrews on our recent Scotland trip, we took a day trip to Edinburgh to see the sights of the big city!

On the way to the main event (Edinburgh Castle), we enjoyed walking up the Royal Mile, stopping in shops and churches, and just taking in the sights of such a beautiful (and old!) place!

That’s the ceiling of St. Giles Cathedral! So pretty, right?

And there is the castle! It was prettier than it looks in this picture…

To me, the best parts of the castle were the views of the city from up high… You could see for miles!

I also loved parts of the castle itself. For some reason the black + white + stone of this part of the castle stole my heart! Not sure why… 🙂

And this puppy cemetery where soldiers’ dogs are buried was just so sweet!!

After castling, we shopped, ate dinner at a beautiful hotel (the name of which I can’t seem to remember), and headed back to St. Andrews for some much-needed sleep after a long but great day!

I have just a couple more Scotland posts for you, but I’m probably going to switch gears for the rest of the week and show you some SUPER fun looks that Elish, Katie, and I worked on yesterday! Can’t wait to share! 🙂

Have an amazing day and thank you for stopping in! 🙂
