For our last three nights in Scotland we stayed in Bridge of Allan just north of Stirling and an hour train ride from Edinburgh. The B&;B we stayed in was built in the 1850's.
Castle 1: Stirling Castle. The oldest part of the castle dates to 1381.
To our surprise, castles were usually entirely painted (to show off a bit). The yellow in this building is likely the same color used on many castles.
There were many people who represented people of that time period. The gentleman below asked if Marc could take my picture with him. He said I could take his arm and look adoringly up at him!
Castle 2: Edinburgh
This was the firing of the one o'clock gun.
While in Edinburgh we ate at the birthplace of Harry Potter. This is the cafe that JK Rowling wrote most of the first book.
Castle 3: Castle Campbell. We went to this one because Gayle has some Campbells in her ancestry and likely came from the Campbell Clan.
