Edinburgh, Scotland - July 16, 2016

Arriving in the port at Edinburgh (pronounced "Edinbro" by the locals):





Riding our tender toward the Forth Bridge: (forth is Scottish for fjord)




Edinburgh's architecture is very dramatic.













St. Giles' Cathedral:




Edinburgh Castle:





Doing some souvenir shopping:





JK Rowling wrote most of her Harry Potter series while living in Edinburgh, so...





St. Giles' Cathedral from the other side, and a statue of economist Adam Smith:






Jill near the Royal Scottish Academy:




A store Lindsay really liked:





Lindsay's store again...with Jill outside:








We found a lot of stores with wool products!








Spectacular views from the top of Calton Hill:






Monument to Admiral Nelson:








On the bus...ready to return to our ship:




And speaking of Harry Potter, the building in the distance with the spire on it is Fettes College, JKR's inspiration for Hogwarts:
