We decided to go for the hop on/hop off Edinburgh bus tour to get a feel for the city before going anywhere in particular. We got off near the castle to check where we needed to go for the Tattoo performance, then did a bit of souvenir shopping and got the bus down to Holyroodhouse. The weather was clearing so I went for a walk up the Salisbury Crags (while Mum stayed down the bottom). The views were well worth the climb!
After dinner back at the apartment we made our way back to the castle for the Tattoo – the principal reason for the trip. We both really enjoyed it – hard to say what my favourite parts were, but definitely the Swiss army drum band setting their sticks on fire was a highlight!
