Edinburgh Day 2 - St. Giles' Cathedral

 After the castle our next stop was St. Giles' Cathedral. An amazing building. The ceiling was spectacular. The craftsmanship was impressive.










Edinburgh Day 2 - Edinburgh Castle

 This morning we started our day with visiting Edinburgh Castle. It was as spectacular as I hoped. It was amazing to tour the grounds and see what a medieval castle was like. I took so many photos (even more on a couple post) but had to narrow it down!
