Scotland Day 5

Today we used a book I had bought, Walks of Edinburgh, we guided ourselves up Calton Hill for some great views and interesting buildings and monuments.  We decided on Calton over Arthur's seat.  Because, just looking at it tired me out!
 

Calton Terrace Mews, old carriage houses turned into housing made for a quaint feel in the big city.
 
 

At the top of Calton Hill, the Scottish Monument

City Observatory

Nelson Monument, which John climbed up while I sat on a rock and rested
 

View of Holyrood Palace and Arthur's Seat
 
 

Rose Street shopping

We made it to the top

Princes Street Gardens

Came across this great music outside the art gallery
 

And then all of a sudden a bunch of guys in kilts were walking by,
and they stopped to take in some of the music

My four glasses of water after climbing the mountain (hill)

Venison and Scotch whisky flight

Live pub music again...so easy to find!
