This morning we visited Glasgow’s Cathedral, Necropolis and associated St. Mungo’s Museum of Religious Art before departing by train for Edinburgh in the early afternoon.
Our flat is a few steps down an alley just off The Royal Mile so we are right in the middle of the tourist hotspot. Our kitchen window overlooks a large courtyard where tourist groups gather to hear about Edinburgh’s writers.
We set off for a “short” walk to a local lookout and several hours later returned damp and foot sore after scaling Hollyrood Park to get a view of the city from Arthur’s Seat. This trek covered about 12 Km with a greater majority of this distance either climbing up or climbing down slippery, rocky surfaces. The weather closed in and the view from the top would have been otherwise spectacular.
I’ll have you know Hedwig is a snowy owl. The one on the left looks to be a Tawny Owl, and the one on the left is a long-eared owl or great-horned owl? Either way they’re all super handsome. If only you got a picture with them yourselves! <3
Good to see youse are oot n aboot, man. You need to eat ya haggis n taddies and drink ya Irn Bru to keep up the energy levels up.
BTW still hot in Aus. Hottest March on record. I took three days to drive from Brisbane to Boat Harbour. Lots of wallowing in surf and slopping about in river estuaries for me ??.
