More Scotland

So I have this post that I did a while back and forgot to post. Here it is.

One of the places we visited while we were in Scotland was the city of Edinburgh. It's a hell of a lot smaller than London, but cool nonetheless. The building above is in Edinburgh.
We took one of those open-topped busses (which were everywhere--just like London) and got some cool pics. Like this billboard.
In the center of Edinburgh is this massive castle way up on a rock. It is the focal point of the city, and frankly is bad ass.
A side view of the castle.
A pic of the bus we were on.
A look up one of the streets.
A look up the "Royal mile" which leads up to the castle.
Old ass bank.
Some really really old monument in the middle of town. Apparently you can climb to the top of it if you are so inclined. Fuck that.
A street performer. There was some festival going on and there were performers and exhibits everywhere. This dude was from Australia. And by the way--he's on a unicycle, getting ready to juggle a knife, plunger and flaming stick.
And him balancing blocks on his chin.
Higgins--this is why I didn't get you a kilt. They were like 400 bucks.
Another view of the castle.
And another view of the castle.
A look down one of the streets.
That's the railroad bridge that we came across on the train (where I took pics of the big suspension bridge.)
And Damien, driving. On the wrong side of the road.

You didn't get Higgins a kilt because the fucking maniac would have worn it everywhere. Traditional-style.
And he'd trip all the time. "Ooops! Sorry you had to look at my balls!" "Ooops! There was a good look at my bunghole!" "Ooops! Guess I rubbed my taint in your face! Sorry!"
