An Epic Day indeed
Some cracking weather in Edinburgh on a Saturday found us looking to see the best of what Edinburgh has to offer whilst not just wandering up and down the Royal Mile
We started at the cafe in Valvona and Crolla for an amazing breakfast followed by a wander around teh deli picking up supplies for the day's walk
We then wandered along the Royal Terrace and then up onto Carlton Hill for some great 360 views of Edinburgh and surrounds...clear as a bell! (I'll try to remember to add some photos here)...we used the Carlton hill Walkhighlands walk as a guide

When we came back through Stockbridge, we then turned right and started the Dean Village and Museum of Modern Art walk in reverse

Some great walks and a great view of Edinburgh!
