Our hotel – Edinbugh Waldorf Astoria – The Caladonia. A venerable Horel, recently refurbished. Lots of excitement – room mixup, misplaced luggage, and room door barred from inside by a misplaced latch. All sorted eventually.
Thistle on table in hotel lobby.
Amazing flower arrangement at hotel – especially giant allium.
View of Ediburgh from the castle
Cemetery for regimental and officer dogs at the castle.
Best part of Ediburgh IMHO is the National Museum where we saw a special Celts exhibit and a special fossil hunters exhibit that focused on the Romer gap – 15 million years when first tetrapods came on land from the water and no fossil record had been found. The gap was closed by a Scot who found the relevant fossils on the border between Scotland and England.
