The Cairngorms looked lovely. Not as dramatic and rugged as the highlands, but vast and more homely somehow. Alas we didn't really have much time to explore. There was still a bit of snow left on top of the mountains.
We arrived in Edinburgh and went off for an explore. We didn't go in the castle as it was £15 each! We liked Edinburgh, it was an interesting city, lots of little alleys and old features if you look out for them. I had no idea those blue police boxes still existed anywhere! But being a capital city, it was full of people and we had had enough after a couple of hours.
So we headed out to Leith, a nearby borough where we were staying in a budget hotel as again we couldn't find any campsites nearby open. Leith was originally the main trade port of Edinburgh so has quite a historic quayside, so we went for a wander as the sun set.
And that's us finished up in Scotland! I'm so glad we made it up here in the end, it was so worth it. I got really excited using Scottish money. And the scenery gets better and better the further north you go.
