UK Tour Day 3 - Free day in Edinburgh

Yesterday I did two walking tours of Edinburgh.

The first one was a 2 1/2 hour tour through the city viewing heaps of places but my favourites were the Mercat cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercat_cross) , Grassmarket (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassmarket) and Greyfriars Kirkyard (cemetery).


Mercat crosses were they use to punish people my nailing their ear to the door when leaving. The wooden door is on the left hand side. 





The second tour was of Edinburgh castle.



For dinner tonight we went to a Celtic night.
