The TINIEST selection of Edinburgh photos...

Hermitage Castle, in the Scottish borders...a real 'nae mess wi' me' place!



Where we stayed



Eldest in uniform at Holyrood Palace!



Speaks for itself, the castle...



My favourite castle, Blackness



The pit prison, Blackness...actually below tide level and floods twice daily (it's the hole in the ground!)



Crichton castle



Lizzie



The view of Edinburgh from the top of Arthur's seat - Lizzie was DETERMINED to get up there, and did it!



Simon, Lizzie and AJ at the top



Lizzie at the top, clutching walking stick!



Rosslyn Chapel, and no we didn;t find the grail and yes it WAS full of Da Vinci Code wannabes



fucking awesome though...



Lizzie



Castle Campbell



Tantallon castle

As you can see, a LOT of castles were visited, and all in all it was a good trip!




Edit: I DID mean to add to the above a little mention about Lizzie - she did really well on holiday, especially making it to the top of the mountain, but I really haven't seen her quite as bad as she has been. She has been utterly crap the last couple of days, and probably shouldn't have tried the climb, though it was an easy but steep walk. Still, it was what she wanted to do so much and in a way she needed to for her mental well being.

Do think of her the next few days, it would be appreciated.

magnificent photos and good for Lizzie's determination! I hope she did not overdo it, though. from the pictures she looks to have a strong spirit and I hope her health improves soon.

Thanks!

Yes she is a very determined lady, and I hope with a good rest she will start to pick up a bit.
