The Scottish capital Monuments

Mark woke up quite early on the next morning, therefore he went outside our Edinburgh flat for a good breakfast and a paper, after that made the coffee and woke me up. We’d a few peaceful hours and then went to the first of the several monuments I got on my list.

The one closest to our vacation apartment in Edinburgh turned to be the National Museum of Scotland, and then we went to the Royal Museum with its Millennium Clock. Mark insisted on viewing the National Gallery of Scotland as he is a serious fan of fine art and then he dragged me to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

I needed some fresh air and right after our visit down the museums, I convinced Mark we had more than enough for that day and we headed towards the Princes Street Gardens where we made a picnic. The recreation area was filled with parents with their small children and they all looked happy.

In the evening we directed towards the Leith district, that wasn’t that near the Edinburgh vacation apartment we were residing at, but was so charming that we couldn’t resist. We went to the <a href=”http://www.free-city-guides.com/edinburgh/the-royal-yacht/”>Royal Yacht Britannia</a>, which is on port there and then we headed towards the Shore, which is a place of fish and chip shops, curry houses and sophisticated sea food restaurants, together with conventional Scottish pubs. I selected a good brasserie called A Room in Leith, which enjoyed a waterside position and we got a good Scottish dinner.

Next Mark was the person to pick the bar we left for right after dinner and he picked The Kings Wark on the shoreline, which got to be a conventional bar on the water. There we had some beer and appetizers and stayed truly late till we eventually took a cab to our own Edinburgh accommodation.
