Beautiful architecture typical of Edinburgh
View from the Old Calton Burial Ground, where David Hume, the philosopher is buried. You can see the Nelson Monument to the right and the circular monument to Dugald Steward, another philosopher, on the left.
There was a market set up inside this old church.
Vendors sell their crafted goods under the trussed roof and stained glass windows of an old church on the Royal Mile.
The entry to Edinburgh Castle
Cranachan, a Scottish dessert made with creme, raspberries, honey, oats, and whiskey. It was VERY yummy!
Me outside of the Elephant House where JK Rowling wrote some of the Harry Potter series.
Me inside the bathroom of the Elephant House, where adoring HP fans leave their favorite quotes, opinions, and thanks in graffiti. If you can't tell from the picture, I'm freaking out with excitement!!
The main gallery of the National Museum of Scotland
Here's a picture of Dolly the Sheep, the first cloned mammal. I'm not going to lie: Although seeing her was super interesting for her scientific significance, it was pretty creepy to see a stuffed sheep on a rotating platform.
The horizontal cliffs in the foreground are the Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat is in the background.
All smiles about a third of the way up the hike to the top of Arthur's Seat.
I made it to the top where the views were incredible.
Feeling on top of the world and living life on the edge. You can see the top of the Salisbury Crags below me.
Ruins of the medieval St. Andrew's Chapel
Ruins of St. Andrew's Chapel peak out of the hillside about halfway up to Arthur's Seat.
The grave of Greyfriar's Bobby, the loyal dog who stayed day-in and day-out at the gravesite of his deceased owner.
Thomas Riddell, and Thomas Riddell Jr.'s graves. Not quite like the appear in Goblet of Fire but still eery!
Victoria Street: the curving street with unique shops that are rumored to have inspired Diagon Alley.
Here are photos from my magical visit to Edinburgh!
