Personal Site & Travel Blog
After some porridge for breakfast, we went to the National Museum of Scotland. Great place! Too much to see in just a couple of hours, but at least that way there’s something for everybody.
This time I had a closer look at the exhibition about the Jacobites.
To end the day: a nice meal at Mums Great Comfort Food and a whisky tasting at the Whiski Bar & Restaurant.
Since it’s quite hard to blog without being anti-social when travelling in a group, here’s just a little photo impression of yesterday, including a guided tour of the city and a visit to Edinburgh Castle.
The gang is complete now! After settling in at the hostel or apartment, we went to The City Cafe for dinner, then for a little walk and some drinks.
A fine start of this trip, I’d say.
Since the gang isn’t here yet, I’ve taken this opportunity to do something they wouldn’t be interested in anyway: looking for vintage kilt stuff at Armstrongs Vintage. Plenty of nice tweed kilt jackets, but since I already have two nice ones, I didn’t even bother trying any on. So my main focus was on vintage sporrans and possibly an all black—so a black toorie as well—or all navy blue balmoral hat.
No luck though, so I strolled back to the Royal Mile, and when I reached The Baked Potato Shop, my stomach decided it was time for lunch, even though it was only 11h30.
