Edinburgh: A World-Class View February 27, 2010
Posted by tiffany in : Edinburgh , trackbackWe conquered half of the mountain today. It was, at first, brutal with wind coming from all directions and a steep climb. Thankfully that was only thirty minutes of the hike and it was not raining.
The path evened out and the view was spectacular! We could see clear out to the ocean and to the mountains toward the main land. There was snow on the ground there(barely) but it was warm enough without the wind to take the hood, beanie, and gloves off.
I saw what looked like either deer or sheep droppings and kept my eye out but alas, we only saw gulls.
We saw what looks to be ruins of a castle or watchtower but it was beginning to get dark and our stomachs were yodeling with all the emptiness it had to work with.
We are planning to go back tomorrow to have a picnic by a shallow creek in the valley and then explore the ruins nearby.
