Edinburgh Castle
There is a cemetery for dogs too :-)

Fireworks before the torch parade
All the torches before the parade
Lighting our torches
A cemetery in the middle of the town
Ahhhh, another whisky shop!
We took the train up to Edinburgh for four nights over new years. I don't think either of us expected Scotland to be as beautiful as it really is... Simon indulged in haggis every morning for breakfast and I got stuck into the famous chips and cheese (not chips and tomato sauce) after a night out on the ras.
One of the first things we recognised was how similar to Dunedin it is. All of the street names are the same! Brought back a few memories.... Dundas Street, Princes Street, Moray Place, George Street... all of them! I think Edinburgh set the standard ..... or maybe Edinburgh followed Dunedin?
We were at Hogmanay for new years. The most fantastic fireworks display ever!!!! A big street party to get amongst the Scottish way!!!

Looks like you both had a great time, and there are some ledge photos you've shown us, but what the hell are you standing in Nat in the second pic, it looks like a public toilet???
And love the random one of you Natty facing away from the camera "Kath look at moi, look at moi, look at moi...I've got one word to say to you Kath-you have a good sense of yumor!" Hahahahaha

Ever wonder why Duners is called the Edinburgh of the south??? Maybe Robbie Burns was even a Scot??????????? Torch parade looks fun.Had to be careful you didn't end up the whiskey in your other hand becoming a flaming mo!Glad you had a good time.
