Edinburgh; Sunday, 27 November, 2011

I checked out of the hotel and walked the short distance to the train station to get the train into town, only to discover that ScotRail had decided to cancel both of the next two trains, and that the buses from nearby only run on weekdays. So I had an hour long wait on a pretty cold and windy station before I finally made it into Edinburgh.

After dropping my bags off in the lockers at the bus station I headed back into town to have a wander around before heading over for the tour of Mary King’s Close that I’d booked the previous day, and had thankfully been able to rearrange in my cold hour waiting.

From the Close I headed over to the Scottish National Museum and spent much of the afternoon having a look around.

From the museum I headed over to the Art Gallery to have a look around there and then a quick wander around the Christmas market before it was time to collect my bags and head to the airport.
