A day in Edinburgh

so I had a walk around The town which we visited a few years ago. It is a great place. Lots to see and of course, lots of people!  I visited the writers Museum which featured 3 major authors - Robbie Burns, Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. Interesting exhibits of their personal writings and memorabilia. 

Other than that particular museum, I walked the streets and through the gardens. A funny thing was the number of cashmere/wool/tartan shops on the Royal Mile starting at the Castle.  Another was the number of statues so I took a few snaps. 

 This bear had something to do with the army. With some statues, people stand in front of them or climb over them and you just have to include them!

This is John Knox - he was a firebrand evangelist!

they like to dress people in Roman togas. 

A Scottish soldier 

The Scottish Bobbie who stood by his masters grave for years - and people rub his nose for some reason so it has become shiny. 

The statues have white heads as the birds sit and poop on them!   

Note the white head. A job for someone! 

Another Roman? 

And there were so many more. In between times I visited a couple of my museums- Harvey Nicholas and Jenner’s department stores. These museums sell their exhibits- not that I bought anything!
