Edinburgh, Scotland Pt. 1


 I took a day trip by train to Edinburgh through a tour group called Golden Tours. Edinburgh was fantastic. One of my favorite places I have visited so far.


 As you can see it was cloudy and rainy all day. Well most of the day. Every once in awhile it would decide to be really sunny for a few minutes, then it would cloud over and rain again.


This is the pub that I ate at. 


It's called the Last drop, because back when, it used to be right next to the hangman's gallows. Men would get there last drink here before they were hung. A bit morbid if you ask me. I still chose to eat here though. What does that say about me?


 This is Mince and Tatties. It consists of mashed potatoes, ground beef in a gravy and steamed vegetables. I didn't know what it was when I ordered it and I was a little nervous about eating it, but it was so good! My mouth is watering now, just thinking about it! Yummy! I will have you know that I cleaned the plate, even the steamed Kale, yuck!


 This dessert was excellent, it a brownie. Mostly, I took a picture of it because of the snail. Ha!


 This was inside the pub. I thought it was cool.


 I wrote the message in the bottom right hand corner. These little chalk boards were on the bathroom doors. I couldn't resist.


 Thought this was an awesome street. There's a restaurant above the shops that are dead ahead.


 Still cloudy, but somehow it only made it seem more charming...


Cool Celtic Cross.
