Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park - we didn't quite make it all the way to the highest point but still got a very good hike in

We spent another day exploring Edinburgh, this time spending most of the time on the other end of the Royal Mile. We visited the Palace of Holyroodhouse which is the official Scottish home of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles. We enjoyed surveying the grounds and gardens and learning a little bit more about the history of Scotland's royalty. We also took a quick walk through the Scottish Parliament.
Since it was such a beautiful day (probably at least 70 degrees), we took a few different hikes to get some amazing views of the city. David's conference begins on Thursday so tomorrow is our last day here in Scotland. We know we will miss this awesome place, but are also looking forward to being back in London and staying in a different part of the city than we did before. Hopefully the internet connection at our next hotel in London is also good so we can continue to keep updating the blog. We have enjoyed keeping this blog updated so we have a semi-diary of our adventures.
