Trip to Edinburgh Castle

Thanks to St Andrew's Day, all the Scottish and the tourists in Scotland can enjoy free entry to all the castles for the weekend. But the timing is so wrong cos it's winter season now plus it's snowing.


Waited at this station to get the train to Edinburgh.
Ticket is £10.70 for return journey 


Us*


Reach Edinburgh (the capital of Scotland) after 50 mins train


This is the Edinburgh Castle
(Scotland's most visited tourist attraction)

Normally charge £11 (per adult), £5.50 (per child)


A beautiful building in front of the castle


The entrance of the castle
(lots of people coming in and out)




Pretty frosty floor






St Margaret's Chapel

The view of Edinburgh's new town from the castle






The infamous One O'clock Gun


So naughty till get scolded by the staff. Haha


The Crown Square




Too bad cannot take the picture of the real crown due to the tight security inside












The Royal Mile


Fake Sir William Wallace
(u'll know if u have watched "Braveheart" movie before)




This couple is so brave to have wedding photoshoot outside 
during winter time


The brave 'angmoh' newlyweds coming out from a church


The gallery beside the Holyrood Palace
(pity that the palace is closed when we reached its main gate
around 4.50pm)


Night view of Edinburgh; the Christmas Market










Haha. I even can skate on my own at the roadside 
in Glasgow if I have a pair of skating shoes

Imagine that we are walking outside when the temperature is -6°C. We feel like we are walking inside a freezer. *so cold*
