Day 12: Sterling to Edinburgh
After haggis and black pudding for
breakfast it was off to Bannockburn to see the heritage centre, commemorating
the battle at Bannock Burn between Robert the Bruce and Kind Edward II in 1314.
After a quick geocache or two we then headed toward Edinburgh via the Forth
Bridge. We let the lady who lives in my phone navigate us to the B&B we had
prebooked on laterooms.com. Downloading the UK (and other) maps to my phone/GPS
has been brilliant.
We then caught a bus into
Edinburgh – about 10 minutes away. We walked up to the Castle and had a good
look around, then down the Royal Mile with all its tourist shops and dinner at
the Hard Rock Café. Another day over. The days are getting by so quickly.

I can't seem to get the grin off your mother's face as I read where you have been and what you have learned along the way. Your descriptions of the various castles and particularly the Royal Mile bring back fond memories of our trips there. We can imagine Lach's reaction to seeing William Wallace's sword. G&G.
