Scotland

I went to Scotland last weekend. The first day I went on the Royal Yacht Britannia, which was the Queen's vacation yacht. The Queen only had a single bed in her room and a single bed for Phillip in separate bedrooms. I went to Edinburgh and saw the Edinburgh Castle, which is huge and impressive looking on the outside but the inside isn't as impressive, it did have the crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny which is just a rock that was used to coronate the Kings and Queens of Scotland, which was stolen by the English of course and eventually returned however they steal it back to coronate the monarchs of Great Britain. Edinburgh the city is pretty cool, it has very gothic style architecture. I also went to Holyrood Palace which was fantastic. It has like the four poster beds that Mary Queen of Scotts used and the current Queen stays there occasionally. I also went to Stirling to see the Wallace Monument. It's on a giant hill and it has 246 steps to get to the top. It is home to William Wallace's sword which is 5'6" so they estimate that Wallace was about 6'6". Then I went to Loch Ness, which is in the highlands. The Loch is really deep and the water is black with amber coloured waves. I went on a boat tour of the Loch and it was really windy so there were lots of waves and the boat was hitting them pretty hard. I didn't see Nessy but I'm pretty sure the boat hit her as we were going over one of the waves because there was a loud thud.
