Day 36: Scotlandddd

After a cool night out, the four of us went on a walking tour provided by our hostel. The tour guide was a girl who was actually from France but recently moved to Edinburgh. On the tour, we visited the graveyard again, but it was cool to hear all about the different historical facts from our tour guide. The tour also took us to other parts of Edinburgh and we met a really cool girl from Australia who was visiting Dublin after Edinburgh, so we told her of all the things she needed to see while she was there, as well.
After the tour, we headed to the Baked potato shop, as recommended from other girls on our group, where I got a baked potato with Quinoa salad on top. After lunch, we walked around to a bunch of the different shops around looking at all the different scarves and other gifts.
We then headed up to the castle, which was unfortunately closing, but we still got to see the outside and the views of Edinburgh from it. After the castle, we came back to the hostel and met up with Michael and Rachel for dinner. We grabbed dinner at the pub we went to the night before, where I got a really good fish sandwich, and of course another Ginger Grouse.
After dinner, we went on a Ghost Tour of Edinburgh, where we not only got to go in some underground vaults, but also into locked parts of the cemetary that the general public isn't allowed in. Once the ghost tour was finished, we headed back to the hostel, packed all our stuff and got ready for our flight to London the next morning.
