It felt as though it was just yesterday that I walked these streets even though it was a year ago when I last visited.\u00a0 This city feels familiar now and while my heart remains in the Highlands I do love Edinburgh.\u00a0 This is a city where street performers can be found on every block along the Royal Mile, delighting tourists and locals alike.\u00a0 From men in kilts playing the bagpipes to an opera singer to a juggler, they are all here especially on a sunny spring day. We browsed the shops and paused for a wee dram in a pub.\u00a0 A little treasure was the shop with woven scarfs, kilts, shawls, etc. Bought a beautiful woolen woven scarf of the Lords of the Isles (what else?). Had a delicious fish and chips dinner at No. 1 High Street as recommended by our cab driver from the airport.\u00a0 All in all a good, though exhausting, day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"6653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8234-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Edinburgh, city, Scotland\" class=\"wp-image-6653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8234-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8234-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8234-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8234-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8234.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PAT Z9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"6654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8243-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8243-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8243-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8243-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8243-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8243.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PAT Z9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"6652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8245-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8245-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8245-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8245-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8245-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/CUB8245.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PAT Z9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beautiful first day in Edinburgh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6671,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lord-of-the-isles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
