Once a year the Queen inspects the troops and then they do a parade from the inspection grounds to Buckingham Palace. That Saturday happened to be the day. It was cool!

Our first day in Scotland it POURED rain big time. I was soaking wet as was everything in my backpack. FUN! This is Holyrood Palace-the Queen's castle in Scotland.

This is a really cool ruined abbey off of Holyrood Palace.

"Please don't cook me!!!" Talk about a BIG kitchen fireplace! This is Linlithingow Castle.

We didn't get to go into the Highlands (no time-sad) but we took a really cool hike where we could see the boarders where they started. Beautiful!!
