For our 2nd week long trip we decided to cover some of ‘The North’!!!   Neither of us had ever been to Scotland and really wanted to see as much as possible.

To give us as much time as possible up there we spent Day 01 of the trip motoring up the A1 to Edinburgh, not the best road for scenery but necessary.

  It’s amazing though..  you go past this sign into Scotland and within minutes the landscape seems to change, suddenly you have a view of an awesome shoreline, rocks and there was even some heather.  It’s definitely a route in where it feels like Scotland truly welcomes you  🙂

We had a room booked in a guest house for 2 nights in Edinburgh so we could spend time seeing the city.  After arriving and finding the place we parked up, ditched our stuff in our room and headed on into the town..  by bus!   That was an adventure in itself.

After a bit of a wander round we had some dinner and explored the local hostelries..  lovely lovely beer.

In total we covered 319 miles today.
