Day 6: Friday June 22nd - Edinburgh


Today we visited the Botanic Gardens and Edinburgh Castle. We also walked around the old town and had delicious indian food for dinner.  In the evening we went on a tour of some of the haunted spots in the city.

During our haunted walk we explored some underground rooms and a graveyard... very interesting stories!


Some of the names in Harry Potter came from this graveyard... including Tom Riddle
