Scotland is a beautiful country! The day after we arrives in Scotland, we set off to Edinburgh. Our agenda for the day...meet with the other missionaries in Scotland and enjoy a day together. The missionaries in Scotland include: The McCaskill Family, The Bergen Family (Jon Bergen was to Pond Hill last September), and The Mills Family (The Mills family is back in the states for a short Furlough).
We were all meeting in Edinburgh for a jaunt up the royal mile to Edinburgh Castle. We had plans to stop for lunch and just enjoy our time together. You know the old saying, when the Baptist meet the Baptist eat!
Along the royal mile we saw many stores. Some of the most noticeable stores were the kilt manufacturers. They were everywhere. I thought about getting one, but then decided against it. Although Scotland is known for their kilts, we only saw one on the royal mile. And the one we saw was unusual, in that i was primarily a solid color, not a clan color.
We finaly made it to the castle around 2 PM, and enjoyed finally reaching the top. Literally it was all down hill from there. It was a welcomed spot. The Castle is still a working military fortification. But it also houses the War memorial, the Royal Jewels, and many other museums. There were even American from the War of Independence that were held captive in Edinburgh Castle. It was an awesome experience.
And about the Haggis...Oh yes, I did!
