Time to move on to our last destination. Had another of Elizabeth’s great breakfast feasts then drove a short distance to Glamis Castle for a tour of the castle and gardens. This is the Queen Mother’s childhood home and it was beautiful. We toured a lot of the oldest parts of the castle as part of it is still lived in.
We then drove toward Edinburgh and had a look at the famous Forth of Fifth rail bridge before crossing the car bridge on the way to Rossilyn Chapel for a look around.
It was now time to check into our Edinburgh apartment. No parking there, so we had to drop off luggage and Tim and I made a mad dash to the rental car return just outside of town to turn in the van. We were in miserable 5 o’clock traffic and barely made it before they closed…..whew! We took the train back to the apartment and went grocery shopping and had sandwiches for dinner since we had a tiring day today.
