After our late night, we had a late start. Went up to the Castle and then walked the Royal Mile. Basically, the shops that are on the mile are tourist shops selling souvenirs. We visited St Giles Kirk and went into the Thistle Chapel – a special chapel for the Order of the thistle. Also on the mile is the Church of the Canongate. It is a really light as the white and blue interior and the blue seating give it a really serene, holy feeling. Her majesty goes to church here when she is in residence at Holyrood House. The canon of the church also gave artisans the right to practice in the Canongate. I think this is the Canon that our Forbes ancestor received his rite to practice.
Tonight we though we were going to see Hamlet, the Musical but we saw My Hamlet with Linda Marlowe. (We did not check the tickets after we bought them so it was our fault). We ended up enjoying the show. Linda Marlowe has a long resume including stage, TV shows (Silent Witness, Dalziel & Pascoe, Midsomer Murders to name a few).
Along the Royal Mile, there are lots of shows happening and people busking so tomorrow we are going to spend more time up there.
After the show, we went to the Dome for a drink. It is a very elegant bar and restaurant. The show piece is the huge roof dome. Most enjoyable.
On the road tomorrow so not sure when we will have access again.
