Today we left Aberdeen and went by train to Edinburgh. By the time we got here it was getting dark, so we walked around town for hours just admiring the architecture of the city. It is stunning.
We walked over to the beach so we could see the North Sea. Had to at least put my hand in it! A very nice evening.
Our last stop was Knock Castle. Another castle ruin from the 1500's. This was a smaller castle, a different style from Auchindoun. Still very cool, however, our rental car bottomed out and had a difficult time with the extremely steep and rocky two-track we had to take to get there.
Next up was Balmoral Castle. Very impressive seeing a working royal residence, but that also means most of the interior is off limits. The grounds were very impressive, and we got to meet a royal Highland cow!
The Old Bridge of Livet and Glenlivet distillery were next on our stop. The bridge was very cool. Glad we stopped to see it. The distillery was closed, but I wanted to at least see it.
