This was a really really great day. We started by getting up at 6am and catching a train so we were in edinburgh by 9am! a small hot chocolate with marshmellows was consumed and then we started are day - a trip to Holyrude castle where Mary queen of scots took residence when she moved back to england after becpme a widow in france where she had grown up. She was Elizabeth 1sts cousin however it was her cousin that in the end signed her death warrant - family fueds!!!!
Anyway that was an amazing and the best part was seeing this beautiful mountain which I want to live on. We also passed some beautiful book shops where i bought 3 beautifully illustrated childrens books.
