Out and about

We have been out visiting some places in Edinburgh.  The street at the top of our road is called The Royal Mile.  At one end of this street is Holyrood Palace and at the other end is Edinburgh Castle.

Here is a photo of us out the front of Holyrood Palace;

This is where the Queen of England lives when she comes to Scotland.  This photo was early in the morning and it was really cold.

Yesterday, we walked to the Castle and had a look inside.  

The castle was made a long time ago when Scotland was at war with England.  The English people won the war and locked away Mary Queen of Scott's crown, a sceptre, and a special sword and stone for 111years.  We saw all these things at the Castle.

There were lots of canons at the Castle.  Here is a picture of the biggest one;

It's called the Mons Meg, and it is broken.  Oliver got scared because Mum said she was going to light it.

Our new school is also on the Royal Mile;

We also went and saw the old cemetry that is next to our house;

Oliver's big blue beanie makes him look like Megamind!

Goodbye,
Amelie.
