Edinburgh Castle

We have been here now for almost 3 months and still had not toured the Edinburgh castle. So this weekend we thought it would be a fun thing to do since we got our Historical Scotland pass. Now we can go back as many times as we want! Here are a few pics from the day. We hope to go back when the weather is a bit nicer, but you just can't count on that a lot this time of year.
