Arthur Seat was actually behind the Palace of Holyroodhouse

15 Nov 2013 - Edinburgh

Walked from hotel to Edinburgh castle. The whole city is like being burnt down, the building was  ash brown or charcoal brown.The unfriendly grey sky made everything turned out colourless.

 

Walking up slope to Edinburgh Castle.

 

Edinburgh Castle entrance.

Did not go into the castle. Thought it would like the other castle or palace that we visited in London.

 

 

Really Scotland wear selling.........

 

St Giles' Cathedral

 

Writing about the Ghost tour that we joined in the evening around 6pm.

The person asked me to stand at a parking lot and asked me to jump up and down.

Could not remember the lot number. She told us that I am jumping on a grave of someone.

OMG!!!!!!!!

 

Elephant House

It was said that the author of Harry potter wrote the book here.

 

This was one of the famous restaurant also.

 

Greyfriars Kirkyard

 

We went on ghost tour, they brought us to this place.

Here we met some old uncle. He was drunk I think.

He said..there was a ghost at.....

And I asked him..."Where?!" jokingly.

The old uncle and his friend replied and our group laughed...
It was quite entertaining though..

 

It was said that the graveyard houses 200 thousands dead body. Long time ago there was only 1 graveyard. The Ghost tour, the guide told us about a ghost who lost his head and was still looking for his head..

During our tour here, there was a black cat running...at a corner..then it came to us and followed us!

It was quite scary though..

Not planned by the ghost tour, it just happened to be there.

Lunch was not really nice here.

However, I saw someone beside ordered something which looked nice!
