Edinburgh Castle

We went on a day trip to Edinburgh Castle today, we had a wonderful time and there were lots to see. With it being the Queens birthday there was a 21 gun salute, it was really noisy and Alan held his ears. While we were walking up to the castle there was a man dressed as a knight pretending to be a statue and when Alan walked past he touched him with his sword he got a real fright but took it in good fun. Also William Wallace was in the royal mile and he got his sword out and let Alan hold it and get his picture taken. Alan loves historical sites so this one was right up his street.We also popped in to the bank museum, where we got to see all the old money, and new and we got to see 1 million pounds in 20 pound notes!! They also had a safe with chocolate coins in it and if you cracked the code you got the loot, Amy and Alan and a little help from their daddy managed to get the coins. Here are a few pics.
