Edinburgh, Scotland

View of the city of Edinburgh

A wool mill place.... Look at all those tartan colors

At the Elephant House - Birthplace of Harry Potter

This bar is after the that the book Dr. Jerkyl and Mr. Hyde is written about.  The author of the book was from Edinburgh and the character was based on a real person who was a gentleman during the day and at night he used people's house keys to burglarize them.

Edinburgh is a pretty neat city.  Many authors have come from Edinburgh including the dude that wrote Sherlock Holmes, J.K. Rowling, Robert Louis Stevenson, to name a few.  Edinburgh has a magical feel to it.  The entire time we were there it was foggy which may have added to this feeling.
