The captain wanted to stay ahead of the brewing storm, so instead of going to the Shetland Islands yesterday as planned, we cruised for two days and stopped at Edinburgh instead. Despite the fact that we have been here before, we have never been inside Holyrood, one of the late Queen’s favorite palaces. We were thrilled to get a replacement excursion that will allow us inside!

We snuck inside St. Giles Cathedral

We visited Holyrood Palace though we could not take photos inside and it was beautiful!

We walked the Royal Mile

And we wished we could have stopped here for lunch🙃

What a great day it turned to be!
