Here we are, Edinburgh Castle and a Scottish Thistle.
Sitting on a cannon in the Castle overlooking the Firth of Forth and Edinburgh city.
We saw lots of armour, canons and the Scottish crown jewels also known as the "The Honours of Scotland". They consist of a crown, sword and sceptre. They were made out of Scottish gold in 1540.
The next day we went to a Jousting Tournament at Lithinglow Palace the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, with Aunty Felicity, her son James and family, Mariah and James.

Wow, I had no idea the jousting tournament was going to be atop horses in brightly colored knight's robes. I envisioned men dressed in white on foot - "surely you jest - take that". Oh that must be "fencing". It that a derivative of jousting?
Lovely rainbow - quite centered.
Did the Royal Mile include any velvet lined Pubs?
Back in Saratoga - will email you.
Love, MAMA
