Enjoy some of the beautiful Scotland scenery!

The impenatrable Edinburgh castle
This water is the "Fifth of Firth" an estuary to the North Sea. Try saying that 5 times fast!
The Scots know how to garden!
One of the many cannons atop the castle.
This is the famous howitzer cannon, shot at precisely 1:00 every day except Sunday.
Boom!
We visited the Prison, used to hold enemies from the Revolutionary War. 
Some etchings in the wooden door show the "Star-Spangled Banner" being flown over a ship. Take that!
Yeah! A rainstorm! Time to show off the great raincoat!
And now for souveniers: You just can't get away from the plaid!
Yes. We bought Eli playable bagpipes. oy. 
Time to go home. 
Say goodbye to the Motherland!
