| After the castle, we traveled the Royal Mile to Holyrood Palace. This is the present Queen's home and has been the homeof royalty, since before Mary, Queen of Scots | |
|
|
| They did not allow photos to be taken inside, but, Richard managed. | |
|
|
| Holyrood Abbey | Dates back to 1128. Mary, Queen of Scots was married here to Lord Darnley around 1560. |
|
|
| It is in total ruins, despite efforts to restore | Many Kings are buried here. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Time to leave | Edinburgh at night...and Arlene |
|
|
| Sir Walter Scott Monument in Edinburgh | Sir Walter Scott's Abbotsford House in Melrose, Scotland. This is one of Richard's favorite places that we visited. |
|
|
| Arlene did not particularly care for the 1/4 mile uphill hike! | |
|
|
| The collections in the house are priceless. | |
|
|
| The is the sword of Rob Roy | |
|
|
| And this was Rob Roy's gun. | Here we are on our merry way to York. |
|
|
| I think Richard is wondering how he got himself into this! | We stopped to take a photo of Jedburgh Abbey. |
|
|
| And a photo of Hadrian's Wall that at one time spanned the width of England | Here we are in York, England. |
|
|
| I spied some beautiful little teapots | A busy York Street |
