Edinburgh Castle. The Edinburgh Military Tattoo
I often get asked about Edinburgh, its History, the Tattoo above, the Ghost Tours, Edinburgh Castle, The Scott’s Monument and more. So, here we are in Pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy living inside all this History and Architecture going back 300/400 years. My last house was nearly 150 years old. Do enjoy….
