I went to Scotland!

Last weekend I was able to travel through Scotland and the Highlands. I was up bright and early on Friday morning, ready to catch the train from King's Cross to Edinburgh. In preparation for the cold weather, I was wearing a shirt, a fleece, a sweatshirt and a coat with my scarf and hat. I was also wearing thermal leggings under my jeans. Needless to say, I was well prepared.

After our four hour train ride to Edinburgh, we stowed our things at our hostel and took a walking tour of the beautiful city.

 Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities that I've ever seen, and it definitely doesn't look as cold as it felt. While exploring the city, we also got to visit the cafe where J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter.

And then we proceeded to visit Greyfriars Kirkyard, a graveyard close to the cafe where Rowling (might have) gotten the inspiration for some of the names in her series.

After visiting around the graveyard, we toured around a bit more and ended at Edinburgh Castle.

After a full day of traveling and sightseeing, we ate dinner back at our hostel. Then we took a ghost tour and ended our night at a Frankenstein-themed pub! The next few days we traveled through the Highlands and the views were definitely spectacular; I'll be making another post about them in the next few days!
