A lie in on Saturday morning was followed by a walk in the continuing rain down to the new Scottish Parliament opened in 2004. A great testament to Scottish democracy and radical architecture our guided tour took us through the chambers, committee rooms and social spaces of the building where we learned about the history of governance in Scotland the devolved powers of this reestablished institution.
The rain kept us away from our planned walk to Salsibury Crags on Arthur's Seat but swept us instead into Our Dynamic Earth a fascinating interactive museum of geology and science. And when we emerged from these great exhibits, the sun was suing and we head to the former city of Leith for our fish and chip supper. The Tailend is one of the most renowned "chippies" in the capital. It was a great way to spend our final big meal in Edinburgh.

Sounds like a fantastic trip! Wish we were there!
