A lazy start to the day enjoying my lovely hotel, breakfast and then wandering the streets of this city full of character.From New Town across to Old Town with the castle dominating high up. Jane my tour guide who lives in Edinburgh suggested a few local places such as Filament coffee and Under the Stairs cafe. Passed The Elephant Cafe where J.K Rowling penned some of  the Harry Potter Novels and roamed the graveyard of Greyfriars Church where a headstone or two gave her inspiration for some character names. Went ‘Aww’ at the little Bobby monument and loved how people had left sticks and bones at the memorial in the graveyard. Walked the Royal Mile and Prices Street and did a little shopping before a cup of Scottish Breakfast tea (lovely and strong and malty) at Eteaket Tea House and dinner at Fishers in the City an Edinburgh favourite. Ventured to try the special of “Hand dived Orkney scallops and Scottish Lobster” which were delicious. Bubble bath back at Nira Caledonia.
