Yesterday we traveled to Edinburgh. Along the way we passed many pretty farms and villages along the seaside.
We are staying in the Grassmarket area which is right below (read here: many, many steps up the hill) Edinburgh Castle.
Edinburgh is an exciting stop for us because it is only 1 of 2 stops where we are meeting anyone we know. In this case it is Malcolm Davidson who lived in the International House with David. As it happened, the day we arrived his wife Noriko was playing in a recorder concert. She plays with the Scottish Recorder Orchestra — see below for a description. It was really interesting to see a full orchestra made up of recorders. They sounded wonderful and it was a lovely way to spend an evening. We also had some excellent Scottish food afterwards with Malcolm and his family (David had his first Haggis meal).
On our way to the concert, we also took a quick tour through the Royal Botanical Gardens.
