Edinburgh For the weekend

On the 7th of July me and my girlfriend flew to Edinburgh for a weekend break. There was no real plan for the weekend and when we arrived in the town centre on Saturday we were worried we might not fill up the weekend. We found that the two days were not long enough.

After the tour bus we spent an hour plus looking round the dynamic earth. A very modern museum exhibiting the earth from the big bang to the future. We then had a afternoon drink in a public house called the last drop. This is the site of the last execution in Edinburgh. Later that even we decide to go on a lliterary tour, the extra incentive this been a literary pub crawl tour. This ended up been my highlight of the weekend and is a must do...(unfortunately the drinks are not free).

Sunday we visited the dungeons (more of a kids attraction, a little disappointed),however in the afternoon we visited Mary kings Close. As soon as we touched down in Edinburgh everyone recommended this tour. It did not disappoint. Very spooky...,Mary kings close is a area off the royal mile were the residents were cemented in (alive) to stop the plague from spreading.

Edinburgh lets you behave as a tourist. Gives you everything you would expect and if you get a day pass for £20 (can be found from the link above),it will let you in most of the places free of charge and will give you discount off places to eat. I had a fantastic weekend.
