We caught the bus back into the central city today to visit Edinburgh Castle. It was another day of showers and cool temperatures (11 degrees). The weekend ahead is forecast for rain and thunder, especially on Sunday. The TV forecasters talk about the disappointing Spring weather. Oh well. It is still very exciting to be here and the city of Edinburgh is a wonderful place to visit.
The castle is really amazing and we spent two hours looking through. More time could be spent there as there are many places to go through. The most intereting, for me, was St Margaret's Chapel. Many royal people have attended services there over many centuries, and yet it is so tiny. It would be very tight if 30 people were in the chapel together. One thing I found interesting is the inclusion of three Scottish Kings named Kenneth. They all lived more than a thousand years ago, so I guess the name was no longer a top choice.
The lines to get in were quite long and while we were lined up yet more rain came down. I find it interesting that in a city that has so much rain, there is very little shelter in the streets.

The weather there sounds just like the weather here!
