Exploring Edinburgh

This weekend Jacob and I did some exploring of Edinburgh since we don't have too much time left before we leave. We went to the Royal Botanic Gardens, went to the Elephant House which is where J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books, went to Calton Hill which overlooks Edinburgh and even picked up trash in Dalkeith. I'm really going to miss Edinburgh and everything is has to offer when we leave. Here are some pictures of our adventures!

Our cleaning crew in front of the house. Our yellow garbage bag vests read "Keep Scotland Tidy".
