Scotland

Yesterday were the last days in England.

Today we took the plane from London to Edinburgh. I thought that all the men were wearing plaid skirts – kilt, Scotland’s national costume. But they uses it like Norwegian uses bunad.

Edinburgh is the capital in Scotland, and the second biggest city in Scotland.

It’s many old, big, brown building here. We wandered around in the big city, looked at the buildings, took some pictures, and dropped by some random shops. 

A crazy man ran out of a shop. He pointed at the sea. “I saw the Loch Ness Monster!” he shouted and jumped around.  People just looked stupid at him. “The Loch Ness Monster lives in Loch Ness” they said to him. The owner of the shop we were shopping in told us about the Loch Ness Monster. Some people in Scotland believe that there’s a creature that lives in Loch Ness. Some people say that they have seen the monster, but they hadn’t evidence.

Later, after we had went shopping and sightseeing like tourists, we took a bus to Edinburgh Castle. It’s a big, old castle, and the most visited tourist attraction in Scotland. The 900 years old castle has pretty gardens with flowers.

Facts:

In Scotland it is monarchy. The country is governed by the English queen, Queen Elisabeth II.

 

After we had looked at the castle and had taken some pictures we went to the Edinburgh Castle Gift Shop. 

Tomorrow we are going to travel to Wales.
