Twisty Stairs and Harry Potter

 Scot Monument

Scotland cemented my love of sandstone.
To get to the top of the monument you have to squeeze through these increasingly tiny steps. Especially fun when someone you don't know is coming from the opposite direction. You get close and personal very quickly!

Elephant House is where J K Rowling wrote large sections of Harry Potter. So of course we had to go have coffee there.

Edinburgh


Arthur's Seat

Edinburgh Castle

Grave of the dog, Greyfriars Bobby
Greyfriars Bobby's owner died, and he attended the funeral. For the rest of the dog's life, he sat by his owner's grave.
