Good Morning!

A full night's sleep in a real (well, two twin beds pushed together) bed felt wonderful. Around 6 a.m., the wind started howling and banging things around. At first Tim suggested a ghost, which I was willing to buy into but had no tolerence for so early in the morning, but then we hear the wind. Shhh!

So, we just finished our breakfast. Tim had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.


I had the continental, which was Scottish cheddar cheese, a hot crossed bun with brambleberry jam and a piece of toast. Yum! Carb load for me!

Then Colin, our host, brought out the haggis. He apologized for not bringing it out sooner, so we could have had it with the rest of our breakfast. But he said, on the bright side, "You can have it neat." Like scotch.

The verdict on the haggis--it's good. But it's not a breakfast food for us. It kind of tastes like ground hamburger seasoned and with gravey. If you ever get the chance, you should try it.

Well, off to try the shower. Then to the castle, Royal Mile and the Palace at Holyroodhouse.
