Edinburgh: Bus and Botanics

• We were blessed with a sunny warm day to tour Scotland's capital in the top of a double-decker bus. Our guide interpreted it as an omen of good luck that we could complete a 1-hour tour without a drop of rain
• It was good to see the mod-looking Scottish parliament and Dynamic Earth tent, along with Reformation-era churches, and the University of Edinburgh
• We saw the place where executions had been carried out, and were told of one woman who survived hanging to go on and bear 6 children!
• Our afternoon concluded with a very pleasant lunch at the Royal Botanic Garden, including a tour of the glasshouses
• Thus ends our experience of Scotland, for this trip.
