Waiting on one o'clock

Despite signing up as Historic Scotland memberships last year, one place we hadn't yet visited was Edinburgh castle. We decided that it would probably be best to try and go before it gets in to tourist season, so we decided to head through after the boys' swimming lessons.

We ditched the car at the station and got the train through to Waverley, hiked up the Royal Mile (stopping for lunch along the way), saw the one o'clock gun and then let the boys stomp around the castle for a couple or hours before heading home.

This is the boys sitting on top of one of the cannons, waiting on the one o'clock gun going off.
