The Edinburgh Castle, set atop a massive rock with sheer cliffs on all but one side.
Walking Tour - attempt #1. Yes Liz's looks a little miserable here infrom of the castle. Imagine how Michael felt with only shorts, t-shirts and thongs on!
Friendly Fire!! You'll notice a canon ball half way up the wall. Fire from the castle, it over-shot the enemy. Luckily it missed the windows, and was far enough away to only wedge into the wall and not destroy it.

The impressive and rather large Wallace Scot Memorial
The beautiful park, that once was the cess-pit moat for the castle.
Inside St Giles
A pretty skyline capturing the silhouette of Scot's memorial as we departed
