Windmill Wishing: Day 20: Edinburgh / Day 8: 2nd Honeymoon

A perfect day for a walk. Sunny and 60. Cool in the shade and warm in the sun. So we set out to the Scottish National Museum

Very impressive.

My favorite exhibit was the Royal history. There is a replica of Mary, Queen of Scots, tomb that is at Westminster Abbey. Since no photos

were allowed at the Abbey,

I was glad to take this one to share.

The 7th (and top) floor has a terrace. It was a beautiful day and we could see all the way to the ocean.

Our walk back took us to the Grass Market

area by way of Victoria Street.

Where everything is Harry Potter. When we return home, I will begin watching all of them.
No, I haven't seen them. I will admit it
was pretty cool seeing where J.K. Rollings
got a lot of her ideas for the books and
the pub where she actually did some writing.

Knights....well of course :)

We found the perfect place for Dave,
he is going for the deluxe package.

We went in and had lunch and enjoyed the pub atmosphere for a Saturday afternoon.

We have been adventurous with local food

and so far have not been disappointed.

I'm really liking the Lattes

and Dave is experimenting

with dark beer.

Next we found the statue and monument for

Grayfrier's Bobby.

A cute little Skye terrier.

The dog's name was Bobby and after his owner died, he led the procession to the grave and never left. The church finally built a shelter for him and for 14 years he stayed by his master's grave only leaving for food. Grayfrier's church looked after him and when he passed away, they buried him 75 yards from his master. This is his headstone.
