Day 3 in Edinburgh

9-9-17 Day 3 started with a super breakfast at Clarinda's Tea Room then a short walk down the Royal Mile to The Palace of Holyroodhouse. Next came a quick bus ride up the Royal Mile to Greyfriars Bobby, Grassmarket Square and a fabulous lunch at The Last Drop (located in the spot that was once one of the city's main gallows...Last Drop from the noose, not the Coffee spoon!!!). After lunch we made our way up to the top of the Royal mile to visit St Giles' Cathedral, shop and bar hop all the way back "home"!
