Kingdom of Edinburgh

Edinburgh castle in the distance from viewpoint of Calton Hill. The rain was lashing down and we were saturated for the day! The city is built on volcanic rock, extinct thankfully for 340 million years! There is a little chapel called St Mary's at the top which was repaired by the Victorians and used as artillery store during wars. Our guide told us it is the oldest building in Edinburgh. We saw the Scottish Crown Jewels in a very cold vault, journeying home tomorrow intent on seeing some English castles soon :)
