Edinburgh, UK
This weekend was my Edinburgh trip. Scotland is so pretty I didn't want to leave...I think I'm going to have to go back just to explore the country side.
Edinburgh is a little hilly city where some old volcano made a big mess. The castle is situated on a mass of volcanic rock making it a perfect place to do battle because no one could penetrate it. It's much smaller than the other castles I have seen so far, but still cool.
The shopping is great, of course...
