Edinburgh Day 2 – 30th June 2011


Majestic Bus tour

In the afternoon we popped on another bus tour, this one taken us further afield from the main city attractions. The journey from the city centre, through New town travels to the coast at new haven and Leith, before returning via Edinburgh Old town. Highlights include the following:

The Royal Botanic Garden: set in 70 acres of land, the Garden includes Britain’s tallest Palm house and a world famous rock garden, plus entrance is free 


View from Ferry Road: the city landscape from Author’s Seat to the Castle  

  
Newhaven: fishing village


The Royal Yacht Britannia: See what life for Royalty was like aboard the ship


Royal Guard returning from marching practice:


End of Day: The royal car fleeing the scene, carrying the Queen (notice there no number plate)
