Edinburgh Day Two – city tour day is in full force. We decided to save some cash and walked into the old town instead of taking the train. It ended up being just 15 minutes ish to walk, so it was pleasant. On the corner of Prince’s street we stopped into St. John’s chapel. From…

Some Mash for the ladies
Another early morning, and we are on another train! We left our airbnb early in the morning, and left Glasgow by train to cross to Edinburgh, arriving around lunch time.
