Edinburgh

Yesterday we were in the magnificent City of Edinburgh.  We enjoyed a fascinating City tour that included the Edinburgh Castle, a drive along the historic Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace (the Queen's residence in Edinburgh), Royal Park, world famous Princes Street and the beautiful Princes Street Gardens.  Some of the group traveled to St. Andrews, located on the Fife coast and visited the Old Course, where the game of golf originated.  In the evening we attended The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo- the largest festival in the world- our guide said.  The action-packed program was held on the Castle Esplanade-stirring music of Massed Pipes and Drums.
