The castle sits on this giant hill and looks down over the city. Maybe I should call it a mountain? It is SO pretty and such a sight to see!!..........
This is the entry way to the castle. Once you entered there was only one way out. The wall are very high and it's a long way down if you climbed over.

The view from the castle looks out over the whole city. You can see everything from up here! What a great place.

This is a closeup of a grave yard across town from the castle. We did not get to visit this one but we did walk through the one directly below the castle.

This picture below is of the grave yard that we visited. It was very erie with all the moss that seems to grow on everything. It was right next to our hotel the "Caledonia" which means old Scotland.

This church was in the grave yard too. I tried to get pictures of the beautiful stainded glass windows and it came out pretty good.

Next we have our room at the hotel. It was like staying in a castle! 
It was very different with it's high ceiling and steps that led down to the bed.
This picture shows the steps leading up to the room. 
This pictures shows the bed which is lower than the main room. You had to go down steps to reach it. The room was very unique.

I was trying here to show how steep some of the street were here. It was really hard to walk up them! I bet you would need good brakes on your car if you had to travel them very often. 
Most of the city of Edinburgh was very clean. Much cleaner than England was. I've heard that Paris was dirty was that was not the case on our trip. England was much dirtier than the other places I visited.
