8/6 – Day 15: South Queensferry (Edinburgh), Scotland, UK

The Firth of Forth, where our ship was anchored in Queensferry, Scotland 

The beautiful Firth of Forth bridge, as we tendered under.

Our Scottish welcome music

We tour a whisky distillery, and got to try a sample...rather disgusting stuff all around if you ask me.

Some rich guy's scotch whisky collection.

Me at the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, where the Tattoo will be later that evening.

 A factory where they make the Scottish plaid materials for the different clans.

The castle on the hill to the right.  In the middle, the stands for the Tattoo, and on the left is Old Town

The opening act at the 2011 Edinburgh Military Tattoo, which even in the rain was an amazing experience.

I tell you, this was a marching band geek's paradise!


The castle lighting up, as the band played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

All the bands out for the final act of the Tattoo.

The Fringe Festival was going on, which brought our all the artsy types.

You never know what you'll see during the Fringe!

The que, in the rain, waiting to get into the Tattoo.
