I’ve picked out three from a rather long list of really great books that I’ve read recently, and while all the books are definitely worth a look, these three especially hit close to home for me, for a variety of different reasons.

Holyrood Palace AKA the Epitome of Beauty – Edinburgh Day 8
We spent a beautiful sunny day visiting the beautiful Holyrood Palace and Gardens. Holyrood is the active palace of Edinburgh, so it’s where the Queen stays when she comes to Edinburgh.

Exploring Stirling Castle – Edinburgh Day 7
After a week in Scotland, we left Edinburgh for the day to head over to Stirling and visit the astounding Stirling Castle. About an hour’s train ride away, it was nice to relax on the train and watch the Scottish countryside go by while we were brought to our next destination of adventure. And what an adventure Stirling Castle was! Probably one of my favourite days of the trip, we spent all day in Stirling exploring every nook and cranny the castle held.

Braving the Edinburgh Dungeon – Edinburgh Day 6
When I was in London, I braved the London Dungeon, and I survived to tell the tale. So knowing that Edinburgh also had a Dungeon, naturally I decided to brave it as well. Continue reading “Braving the Edinburgh Dungeon – Edinburgh Day 6”
Summer Days
Summer’s finally here and it’s here in full force! I spent my weekend soaking up the sun walking along the Seawall and through the rose garden in Stanley Park. It was perfection. Continue reading “Summer Days”
