Morning Scotland! Sun’s up, the sky is blue, pretty sure it’s still cold out there but looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Going to put some miles on my boots today but first stop, Loudon’s, for a last go at their Eggs Benedict.
Just realised my flight to Luton is leaving an hour earlier than I thought it was which means I have to leaveĀ here at 4:30 am tomorrow morning, to be on the 4:50 bus to the plane station for a 7am flight. So wake up at 3:45? Oooof.
Breakfast at Loudon’s was perfect – again. I’ve been there so often they all came over to say goodbye. I’ve really enjoyed meeting them, what a fab bunch of people! Other than breakfast at Loudon’s and some retail therapy down Prince’s Street, there was nothing else on the agenda for today. There’s a crystal shop somewhere in Edinburgh, which is a few miles of walking but I have nothing else I want to do today so time for a stroll.
I passed a mall and stopped in to use the facilities and pick up some tourist tat to take home. No trip is complete without the cheap souvenirs; it’s the law. I found this absolute gem in one of the shops:
I pretty much wandered around aimlessly; sat in the Gardens for a while, just soaking up the views of the skyline. Listening to the accents walking past, trying to lock them into my head to take home.
I don’t want to go and have been teary most of the day. God this sucks sweaty balls! I want to go home, wrap myself in my Saltire and just stay wrapped up like a mummy until they return my remains to this place to live out eternity. Who needs heaven when you can have Scotland?
Please don’t make me go š
