On a the first sunny day which happened to be Sunday my friend Courtney and I decided to venture out to the suburbs of Edinburgh to visit Craigmillar home of the famous medieval castle where Mary Queen of Scots spent some time. Sitting on a hill and surrounded by tall grass and flowers the grounds were silent. We arrived early so the already secluded castle seemed to be breating as the winds carried throughout the tall grass and into it's abandoned walls. Unlike Stirling castle (and most of Scotland's castles) which include renovations to make the interiors look like they would at their prime, Craigmillar castle is preserved as a ruin. It's a really unique experience walking through the rooms and seeing the remains of what was actually there.
