Back to Edinburgh

After leaving Balmoral Castle, we made a beeline for home to return the rental car. Our GPS unit brought us straight home via Perth, and over the Forth Bridge.

We drove 810 miles, walked through at least 8 castles, and took around 650 photos.

Here's a map of where we went, or view it on Google Maps.


We are now officially castled out, and I personally wouldn't mind if I never saw another in my life!

Before we returned the rental car, we thought we would be clever and use the rental car to do our grocery shopping, so we could take it all home in the boot of the car rather than on the bus. Just for a change. And to make the most of it, we stocked up on heavy items like bulk canned drinks etc. So imagine our surprise when we got home to drop it all off, and found our lift was out of order, and had to carry it all up 3 flights of stairs :-(

Finally, an apology to those of you who read the blog regularly, on how long it took me to get this last post up for the Easter trip. I think I need a Round Tuit.
