We had a rare weekend when we didnt have anything planned so we decided to take a trip to Edinburgh. I have been here before but many years ago, my fiance had never been there before so we booked a hostel in the old town and return tickets with Megabus.
We arrive really early in the morning having decided to travel over night. The sun was shining and there was very few people around. We took a stroll to see what was around and saw that there was a museum which was free, but being so early it wasnt open so we would have to return later in the day.
We managed to track down a couple of health shops that had vegan food, this was very much needed as we were starving.
We located our hostel which was in a lovely area in the Old Town.
We opted for their Soup of the Day, which was really yummy and very much needed.
.
I would highly recommend Hendersons to anyone visiting Edinburgh, the staff were so friendly and helpful.

We made it to the top, so proud of our achievement.
The views made it all worth while.

After a short break we decided to go back to the museum to see what they had to offer, and i for one wasn't disappointed didn't take that many pictures as i was too busy enjoying our visit. There was so much to see and do there and i would definitely visit again if ever back in Edinburgh. Here is the link for the museum so u can see for yourself how much there is to see:
After our visit we decided to take a walk around the Old Town and came across Greyfriars Bobby. This amazing little dog really was mans best friend.
You can find out more about him here:
Every day there are sticks left on Bobby's grave which is really lovely, but who puts them there??? nobody seems to know....
We then took a walk up to Edinburgh Castle, which from my point of view didn't really look like a castle but what do i know....
The views from the castle weren't too bad though.
On our way back to the hostel we heard some music and came across this piper, well it really wouldn't be Scotland without seeing a bagpipe player would it.
We started to get hungry so we headed for Hendersons Vegan restaurant.
We opted for their Soup of the Day, which was really yummy and very much needed.

On our last day we decided that we would visit Holyrood Park and climb Arthurs Seat as it was such a lovely day.
We made it to the top, so proud of our achievement.
The views made it all worth while.

All in all it was a lovely break to Edinburgh although it was very short. We will be returning for longer at some point soon.
Thank you for viewing my blog, hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed Edinburgh.
