scotland part II: arthur’s seat

While we were in Scotland, we spent one afternoon climbing beautiful Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh.  Arthur’s Seat is the main hill in Holyrood Park, right next to Holyrood Palace, where Mary, Queen of Scots, lived and where Queen Elizabeth stays when she visits Scotland. Scotland was chilly and none of us had taken our jackets off all day (even though we were also wearing winter sweaters) until we started climbing the hill.  On the way up we all stripped our jackets and rolled up our sleeves.  It was the warmest we were during our time in Scotland, until we made it to the top, that is.  The top of the hill was a freezing wind tunnel with a beautiful view of the entire city and the water surrounding it.  Here are some of the pictures from our fun walk!
