Edinburgh is one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world for obvious reasons. There’s the Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, the Royal Mile, Harry Potter sites, free museums, old churches… There is so much to do!

24 Hours in Edinburgh
Last week I got the opportunity to visit Edinburgh on a last minute trip to Scotland. I’d not been to Scotland yet, and given that Scotland is where some of my ancestors are from (shoutout to clan Bruce), I felt like I needed to go, so I woke up at 4:45 in the morning to…
Edinburgh: Wonderful Christmastime
3 posts and y’all are finally caught up. I’m not responsible enough for a blog.

Edinburgh, Scotland: A Fairytale Land

UK: Ireland and Scotland Visit
Boring title. Sorry. Just gotta keep my travels straight n clear, ya heard? For whatever reason, I feel like there’s so much invested in this particular blahg post by you readers out there (I know I have at least SOME readers because you’ve been the ones telling me how anxious you are for this particular post)….
