Edinburgh is a city full of history and wonder. We spent six hours roaming the cobblestone streets and yet, I feel like I only experienced one page in series of novels. There was something happening everywhere you looked; whether it was blooming botanical gardens or street performers showing off live owls, there was always a sight to see. The architecture was nothing short of amazing, especially when considering the year these buildings were started. The Edinburgh Castle and the St. Giles Cathedral truly stood out as the shining gems of the capitol.
