Another bizarrely sunny day in Edinburgh! Today we went to the Castle which is on top of a huge hill just a few blocks from our hostel and has a tumultuous past. The buildings span Edinburgh's 1000 year history.

David's standing in front of Mons Meg, a canon from the 1400s. It fires the 400 lbs cannon balls that I'm sitting on in the picture below about 2 miles.
This is a little stained glass window in Margaret's Chapel. It was built in the early 1200s and is the oldest building in Edinburgh. It's a small nondescript building in the castle walls.
The view of Princes St Gardens and part of the New Town from the castle.
