With the money we saved on flights to get to Europe, we spent on staying in a castle. The Melville Castle is just outside Edinburgh and absolutely amazing. It was built in 1791 and now operates as a hotel. We took the bus to the castle which is probably an unlikely site for most people to see. A family of 5 with all those huge backpacks. The bus dropped us off near the castle gates and we had to walk with our backpacks about 1 km up to the castle.
We are on the top floor and have a great view from the windows. The most unexpected thing about the castle is the chickens. The boys were chasing them around outside and were actually able to catch them and hold them. One of them actually roosted on Quinn’s arm. They named the chickens Fredrick and Brownie.
