My Scottish Pilgrimage Hike

Image
Judith and me on The Way of St. Cuthbert.     Judith and I would join our Pilgrimage group in Edinburgh on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. We flew to Edinburgh from Paris the day before and arrived early in the morning so we had time to explore a bit on Monday and on Tuesday morning. Judith had been in Edinburgh before, but all of Scotland was new to me. Edinburgh was a very interesting and unique place, and I'm really glad I got to see it, but honestly the buildings are all dark and and in the usual Scottish weather which we did not experience, it seems like it would be a very gloomy place. This alligator (or is it a crocodile) greeted us in our Edinburgh Hotel.   The Edinburgh Castle overlooking the city. Another view of the castle. And another view. Don't remember what this tower is. In the city. Wearing Scottish plaid. A church in Edinburgh. A statue. Around the corner from our hotel. The OZ Bar - owned by the son-in-law of one of my Point Reyes knitting buddies.    ...
