Holyrood Palace is the official residence of the Royal family in Scotland. Sort of the Scottish equivalent of Buckingham Palace if you like.
We took a tour around the Palace this morning and saw the rooms of Mary Queen of Scots, where her secretary David Rizzio was murdered by Mary's husband, Lord Darnley.
Outside the palace are beautiful gardens and the ruins of an abbey.
After that we shopped on Princes St and visited the Scott Monument. Also finally got some nice photos of the castle from the edge of Princes St Gardens.
We had a late lunch/early dinner at Landy's fish and chip restaurant again and headed to bed early, as we have to be up at 5am tomorrow for our trip to the Highlands.
