Scotland

Scotland... Cold. Bleak. Drizzly. Scotland... Was actually quite pleasant and warm! Although it did drizzle once or twice... 

We caught the ferry over to the Isle of Mull where we were to stay in a castle. Yep, a castle. Seriously guys we stayed in a castle! We relaxed in the library with a vast array of scotch to choose from and divided our attention between the view of the coastline and the million dollar painting hanging on the wall, all the while imagining how awesome it would be to live there. The rooms were massive and the breakfast was somehow even bigger.

All too soon we were off. First to Stirling and the Wallace monument which is well worth seeing despite the 246 steps up a very narrow spiral staircase to the top. Then to Edinburgh and our stroll down the royal mile. Packed full of shops and street performers we were enjoying ourselves immensely. We finished our nights in a pub called "Ryries" a place full of character. A great summary for Edinburgh.
