Day 7 in Edinburgh

Last "free" day in Edinburgh to get in all the things we haven't scratched off the to do list! Which ended up with a visit to the John Knox House, some Kilt buying, a quick trip back to the National Museum of Scotland to see the murderdolls we missed, a daytime trip back to The Parish Church of St Cuthbert and Princes Street Gardens then ending with a fun tour through The Edinburgh Dungeon!
