Such a lovely couple showing the world how magical Scotland is! You were so privileged in getting too view the inside of Edinburgh castle! But you have only scratched the surface in what Scotland has to offer! I was born and married in Edinburgh, now living in the new town of Livingston! My wife and I have travelled throughout Scotland, walking the west highland way, cruised the Caledonian canal, drove the 500 way back in the 80s, visited most of the islands and walked along/amongst the footsteps of our ancestor warriors! So proud in being Scottish, which you can hear all Scots love for their country if you listen to the Scottish anthem! Harry Potter has brought many visitors to our country which is sad, as Scotland has always been the best place to live, yet we have strangers making blogs telling the world - and us - how great Scotland is! Lucky enough for us locals - we have the midges and clegs to chase you back too where you came from! Haste you guys back! Take care!
