On Friday morning we walked to the National Museum of Scotland. The lobby of our hotel is on the 5th floor. If you go down to the ground floor you can exit into Waverly train station. So this morning we did that, then cut through the train station to our breakfast spot.
After breakfast we went up the Scotsman Steps (104 steps) from the new town to the old town. Each step is made of a different kind of marble.
The National Museum of Scotland is located just over half a mile south of our hotel. It has lots of very interesting displays. It had everything from fossils to airplanes to Scottish history.
We had an early dinner not far from the Traverse Theatre where we have been going to TradFest concerts.
We had an hour to kill before our concert.
The concert we went to was my absolute favorite of the three we have been to. These four women were funny and just so so good! The group’s name is Rant.
As we walked back to the hotel after the concert I heard a women asking incredulously if the weather is always so cold here. The guy she was with said unhesitatingly Yes! We are very far north!
Saturday we will start our trip home. I really like Edinburgh.
