• Walking through time at Edinburgh Castle

  

  Edinburgh Castle is incredible! Unlike some castles which require more imagination to envision how they would look a few hundred years ago, Edinburgh Castle remains intact and there is much to see here. I suggest booking tickets in advance and allowing a good three hours to properly see everything, more in summer months with heavier…

• Scottish Design Exchange and Edinburgh Gin

  

  The Scottish Design Exchange is a must visit for excellent Scottish souvenirs! I stumbled across this gem in my research for the trip and it did not disappoint. Located on George Street, SDE is a short walk from Edinburgh Old Town and the Royal Mile. The storefront is a co-op-like take on retail in which…

• Exploring Edinburgh

  

  This morning I found a lovely little family owned café just across the street from our AirBnB called Brunchfield Place. R and I popped in and enjoyed a small breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, potato scone (this ate more like a pita bread and less like the scone I was expecting but it was tasty),…

• Whiskey Makers’ Tour at Glenturret Distillery

  

  Scotland’s oldest working distillery, Glenturret is beautifully nestled in the foothills of Crieff. You drive through lovely golf courses nestled in the countryside before ultimately arriving at Glenturret. The distillery’s earliest rental documents date to 1763 and an honor roll of writers, poets, Prime Ministers, and skilled and dedicated distillers speak to its legacy. The…

• Rosslyn Chapel, The Kelpies, & Stirling Castle

  

  The Caledonian Sleeper train arrived in Edinburgh at roughly 8am and we quickly disembarked and collected our luggage. Waverly Station is undergoing renovations and the new rental car facility is about a 10 minute walk from the terminal. The signage is a bit misleading with the renovations but we eventually located the rental facility and…

• London, England to Edinburgh, Scotland

  

  After a much needed night of rest, we began the day without a plan. We have several options of things we could do and we purposely left today open because we weren’t sure how we would feel with the time difference and jet lag. R slept in a bit while I researched some of our…
