Scotland Final Part - Edinburgh

My last trip to Scotland was in early May up to Scotland's capital of Edinburgh. Often compared to Glasgow, this bustling city had many sights to see and a lot of history. First, my friends and I walked up the 'Royal Mile,' a wide street that runs straight to Edinburgh Castle at the top of the hill. As expected, the castle was very large on the inside and had many exhibits. We heard the loud bang of the One O'Clock gun and wandered about for a couple of hours in the castle. We then left the castle, walked down the Royal Mile, past the modern building of the Scottish Parliament and headed towards the Holyrood Palace, where the queen stays during her visits to Scotland. Unfortunately, we couldn't take any pictures on the inside, but the experience itself was amazing. It was almost like walking through time to see all the luxurious furnishings and historic antiques. Our final attraction for the day was to take a tour of Mary King Close, an underground street and sub-passages of Edinburgh's original roads. The tour guide was very informative in telling us how unsanitary and difficult it was to live in the old times. A few scares and a couple of creepy feelings made the tour much more enjoyable. Though I only had one day in Edinburgh, it was overall a wonderful experience one of Scotland's best cities.
