Definitely the prettiest city of the trip. Went to Edinburgh Castle and learned that the site has been continuously occupied for 3000 years, although most of the buildings are pretty new. I spent a lot of the time considering it as an inspiration for Hogwarts.

No one wears heels in Scotland. I saw one other woman in heeled boots in Edinburgh and she had a suitcase. Even women going out clubbing were wearing flats with their short skirts. It was definitely a challenge walking on the cobblestone streets in my boots, and there's no way stilettos would work there. I did buy a pair of flat boots, which I've been wearing every day in Paris.

We walked around aimlessly quite a bit, window shopping and exploring. Then, since we had a long drive to Cardiff, we left early in the afternoon for The SOUTH.

Have I mentioned that the road signs in Britain have reinforced my belief that Winterfell is in Scotland? Going there on the motorway, all the signs say things like:

M6
The NORTH
Glasgow

Now I'm just imagining the signs on Westeros
Kingsroad
The NORTH
Winterfell
The Wall
