Once in Scotland, the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day! We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was definitely cold and windy, but there was no rain... yay! We didn't want to spend a lot while we were there so we walked around quite a bit and went to all the free museums (which were brilliant!). Here are some pictures from the trip:
Simon and I walking along
Jenners- the oldest department store in the World
A nice view by the train station
A metal map of Edinburgh and Simon pointing to our location
Edinburgh Castle (It was 16 pounds per person to get in, so we just walked around the outside)
Snow capped mountains! I haven't seen those since my last Winter in Utah
The side edge of the Castle
The front of the Castle
The stone guard at the Castle
The Royal Mile is a street with tons of shops and is fun to walk down
I saw this red door and really liked it so took a picture with it
The Elephant House- where JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book
Inside the Elephant House
A deep fried snickers (sorry it looks gross)
Simon eating the deep fried snickers
I didn't think it was anything special- basically melted chocolate
A beautiful street view
Lots of whisky distilleries here
A bride on her way to her wedding
A little baby unicorn (name that movie)
Museum of Childhood- one of the cool, free museums we went to

Puppets
I think the fisherman has given up on life (or has had too much to drink)
Old school roller skates

Parliament (weird building if you ask me)

When I was on my study abroad we went to Edinburgh and I LOVED it. We also were trying to save money- we stayed in a slightly scary hostel then the next night left at midnight on a bus back to London- it was not the most pleasant experience of my life :) But Edinburgh is so cool.
