Edinburgh

We can't claim to have seen much of Scotland, since we were only there for a day and 2 nights, but we did have an excellent stay there.  The cool thing about Edinburgh is that the whole city looks like a castle.  Our stay happened to coincide with a huge festival they have called Fringe, as well as a 4 week concert\performance put on by the military nightly.

At Greyfriars churchyard, we saw the grave of John Gray.  John Gray was a former constable in Edinburgh who took a Skye Terrier, named Bobby, as his watchdog.  When John Gray passed away, he was buried here in Greyfriars Kirkyard.  Bobby was so attached to his owner that he loyally continued to guard this grave for 14 years!  When he passed away in 1872, he was also buried near here.
