We got up early and caught the free camp minibus to Edinburgh city. The driver was really nice and gave us a tour round Edinburgh describing all the sites before dropping us just off Princes Street. He said he’d meet us at this spot at about 2pm for the return trip. The free bus is a great idea and makes this campsite ideal for people like us who don't have bikes on the back of their van or tow a small car.
We did some shopping. Paul bought some books and guitar stuff and I bought an Artist & Writers Yearbook. We then had lunch in a department store restaurant on Princes Street. Paul had Haggis with neeps and tatties, ugh, and I had stovies, corned beef and onions fried up together. It was lovely. Then we waited back at the rendezvous for the mini-bus to pick us up. We panicked a bit as we weren't sure we were in the right place but the driver turned up at about 14:10.
This morning as we went past Fettes College, the driver said it was used in the filming of Harry Potter so we looked it up on the internet to discover he was telling porkies, or shall we just call it artistic licence!
We sat out in the evening and then cooked dinner and watched TV.
