Our first day did not disappoint. After stashing our bags at the “Left Luggage” counter in the train station (couldn’t checkin to our apartment till 3pm😩) we explored the city on foot. We wandered the streets and went wherever the wind blew us. Edinburgh is a vibrant city with a rich history. Its cobbled streets twist and turn down alleys that link up with a larger bustling boulevards with shops and pubs. Needless to say, it is a fun city to explore!

The Fringe festival is happening right now, actually the whole month of August the city is packed with festival goers and street performers. You can check out this link to learn more about the Fringe Festival

We had a great first day, walking about 10 miles! We are beat! looking forward to tomorrow!

Enjoy the pics!

View from our apartment. That hill is called Arthur’s Seat. I think we are headed to climb that tomorrow.

Another view out the backside of our apartment. We are staying at the Craigwell Cottages which were once a Brewery! Lots of character and staying in apartments is cheaper than a hotel and you feel like a local. We find it more relaxing 🤗
