EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

Edinburgh is a delightful, charming, romantic city. I visited last November and a return is already on my travel bucket list.

Early morning milk delivery at a coffee shop by the castle, just a wee bit disappointed that it wasn't glass bottles in a wire crate.

The Scotsman Steps, an enclosed public staircase that leads from a spot near Waverley Station up to the heights of Edinburgh's Old Town. Each step is made from a different spectacular and luxurious variety of coloured marble slabs.
