Edinburgh Castle

We spent our last full day in Edinburgh and the surrounding area again. Edinburgh Castle was exteemly busy. It is difficult to drive around Edinburgh. We parked the car about a mile away from the famous "Royal Mile". The tourist shops along the mile were obviously for tourists. Just about any Scottish related item could be found, including tartans, bag pipes and the like. Inside the castle was busy also. Here there was absolutely no parking for automobiles. There were a large number of tourist buses. We certainly had fond memories of the smaller and less know castles, where we spoke directly with the caretaker.
