Photo Spear: Road Trip Around Scotland Part 5 (Edinburgh)

On the final day morning we wakeup around 8am and was very tired from the continuous high milage road trip. But we soldier on hoping to finish our final destination of covering the city of Edinburgh.
So after having a hearty english breakfast from Travelodge Edinburgh Central hotel we packed our stuffs and checkout from the hotel.

Travelodge Edinburgh Central hotel was in the hart of Edinburgh and it was a 20 minutes walk, so rather than taking the vehicle we decided to explore the area on foot, leaving the vehicle in the car park.

Near the Edinburgh Castle there was a Whisky shop call "The Scotch Whisky Experience". Although we were planning to go to see a whisky distillery tour Isle of Skye, but didn't got time to do it. So we decided to checkout "The Scotch Whisky Experience" (https://www.scotchwhiskyexperience.co.uk/).

After going though the "The Scotch Whisky Experience" shop, we continued our journey towards the Edinburgh Castle. Due to the reason that castle is situated in higher ground in middle of Edinburgh, we can see the city clearly from the castle.

Normally Edinburgh Castle will take 2 to 3 hours to explore the whole castle. But we were in a tight schedule to go back to Stoke On Trent early on that day and avoid all the, long weekend traffic made by the holiday makers. So we decided not to go inside the castle this time and try to explore the city a bit and get ready to the long journey back to Stoke On Trent.

While we were coming back we met the Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland, who marching towards the castle for some ceremony. Below are some clicks of them and city of Edinburgh.
