Finally getting out of Scotland, we hopped onto the train and headed down to our old British stomping round, London.

Wrapping up the final day in Scotland with a trip to Calton Hill.

For the last full day in Scotland, we wanted to go to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh so Michelle could be more inspired for our own garden that she’s been expanding at our place. Fortunately the weather continued to be on our side and gave us blue (frosty) skies for the whole day, so we also went up to Calton Hill.

First full day within Edinburgh. Many places were still closed as it was January 1st, but fortunately a Mexican restaurant and the National Museum of Scotland managed to be open so we spent most of our time sticking to the inner city.

After dropping off the rental at the airport, we headed into Edinburgh where we’ll be staying for the next few days. Fortunately it seemed that we arrived just before the crowd rush for the New Year’s celebration, so after checking into our hotel we wandered around the city for a while as we awaited the count down.

Day two was probably our most eventful day of the trip, so I’ll be splitting it into two posts. First up, wrapping up driving through the highlands.

Starting the year off with a new experience, out in cold old Scotland. Amazingly, it was also a (mostly) dry experience and while we were secretly hoping for snow, it was probably for the best that we didn’t since we were moving around a LOT. The trip covered the Scottish Highlands, Edinburgh, London, and ending at Dublin. Here are the pics from the first day as we drove up to Loch Ness.
