Leaving Edinburgh






Greyfriar's Bobby, some dog who followed his dead owner and lived in the graveyard for 10 years by his grave. Then passed away on it. He is famous. More famous than the guy.









This is Greyfriars Cementery, over 100 people have been knocked unconscious here randomly, apparently by a poltergeist. But he didn't pick us unfortunately :( That would have been a good story.











These are more of Rosslyn chapel. Very beautiful and mystical place. The carvings in the stone were so detailed and all completley different each with specific meaning, many apparently hold secret code that has never been unlocked!?!?THe other is Tawnya in the Edinburgh streets on route to the most haunted graveyard in the world according to the Guiness book of world records! Oooooooo. Ahhhhhh.









Craigmillar Castle again (Just outside Edinburgh)
You can actually see 3 floors of the castle in the pic on the left, there is a fire place on each level, but the floors and ceilings have rotted away.









This is Rosslyn Chapel, built in 1446. We didn't have time to dig up the grail.








Jodi on a prison potty! Basically a long hole to the outside. Must have been some unlucky ones to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Too skinny to escape out of.









The above are Craigmillar castle, really cool castle in ruins, Mary Queen of Scots lived here at one time and we were in the room where she conceived the next King of Scotland, England and France!! Canny remember the name!
















This is Edinburgh Castle, Jodi is really hungover and took a little happy nappy













Chips and cheese and meeting random people trying to figure out where the party is!!


Well we keep saying that pics are coming, and they are...but not yet. Costs lots of ££££'s!! So stay tuned. After leaving Glasgow we came back to Edinburgh and hung out with Rosco our old neighbor at the elmhurst 116st.Really strange to be sitting in his back garden and Dalkeith when we were having pints om Jasper Ave 2 weeks ago. We went to a couple castles (so good)and to Rosslyn chapel, where they say the holy grail is buried beneath in some crypt they can't dig for or the chapel may collapse. Amazing place built in 1446. The entire inside is hand carved stone. For you Davinci code fanatics you know that this is the center of everything. So much history. Anyways, times running out, off to Amsterdam in the morning!! Miss you all and will post some evidence soon!!!!
