Edinburgh Castle

Finally, after walking past it everyday and talking about it constantly during class we went to Edinburgh Castle! The views were spectacular because it's the central location- you could see new and old town. We toured each room of the castle trying too look for the things Bob Morris, a historian who we had as guest lecturer told us to look for- architectural relics that were actually as old as the castle next to 19th century attachments made to look old. Then we followed the clustering groups of tourists as they walked through several building and displays of medieval life to the crown jewel display which were beautiful. After learning about the restoration of the castle, It was really interesting to see the different layers of attachments to the castle through time.
