Board the high-speed train
from London and see the countryside and coastline of Britain speed past
your window. Enjoy spectacular views from Carlton Hill. First we visit
Edinburgh Castle standing high standing high above the city. See the Scottish
Crown Jewels in the Royal Apartments. Look for the tiny St. Margaret's
Chapel, Edinburgh's oldest building and listen for the one o'clock gun,
fired daily from Mills Mount Battery. See Holyrood Palace - still a Royal
residence and historic murder scene of Rizzio, Secretary to Mary Queen
of Scots or walk through the ruins of its Abbey, dating back to the 12th
century. Walk down The Royal Mile, the cobbled street linking the Castle
into town, passing St. Giles High Kirk, John Knox House, the Scotch Whisky
Heritage Centre, Camera Obscure and many other museums and buildings of
historic interest. Spend a quiet half hour enjoying the tranquility of
Princes Street Gardens or stroll along Princes Street, Edinburgh's main
shopping thoroughfare, browsing among many stores on the look out for
tweeds and tartans or try some Scottish shortbread. Finally reboard the
late afternoon train back to London.
