Edinburgh in Sunshine

Rita woke me up around 7:00am to take a look outside.  It was a beautiful sunny morning without a cloud in the sky.  What a difference from yesterday.  Quickly got dressed and headed out the door with my camera to recapture the images of the Old City in a better light.  Another reason why Edinburgh is such a great tourist town, most of the attractions are within easy walking distance of each other.

Last Drop Pub is named after the location where hundreds of public hangings took place up to 1784.    People would rent out the windows for the best views of the hangings.  The building itself is one of the oldest in Edinburgh as it was built from castle rubble
