Day 6- Monuments

Hi guys! ♥                    

On the 6 day we went to Edinburgh. It is located amidst the beautiful volcanic hills on the rocky slopes. The center of this very interesting city is divided into two parts.  In the era of enlightenment according to a carefully developed plan created neoclassical New Town. The second part is the Old Town over which rises Edinburgh Castle. From its steep Royal Mile - which is a sequence of four streets: Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street and Canongate – it comes to the great royal residence Hollyrood.

                 The Royal Mile from the Middle Ages to the seventeenth centuries was the scene of demonstrations, advice and executions. Here burned women accused of witchcraft. Currently in place, which they flew stacks, we can see Witches Fountain. 



Located just above the top of the Royal Mile Cannonball House is Scotch Whisky Howitage Centre.

              After sightseeing the city we went to Edinburgh Castle, which is the oldest castle in Scotland and one of the most powerful fortresses in the UK, viewed from the bottom of the north seems to grow almost vertically from the top of the hill. This made  the attackers  have no chance of getting to it from this side. The oldest part of the castle ( a unique St. Margaret’s Chapel) is from the beginning of the twelfth century. Edinburgh Castle is one of the few strongholds that still maintain their own garrison. Military parades can be seen from 4 to 26 August at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, then, every day at 9 pm (without Sundays) the square of the castle held drill, concert pipers and shows the Scottish folk dances. Party ends the wonderful spectacle of fireworks.

SEE YOU SOON (tomorrow We mean xD)
