Rainy day in Edinburgh

When we got up this morning it was to light rain. Not that this is unusual as we have had some amount of light rain more days than not. Carol wanted to visit Edinburgh’s Museum of Childhood but as it doesn’t open ‘til 10:00 we had time to spend so we took one of the city bus tours which we hadn’t. Because of the rain we had to sit within the bus so didn’t get any photos.

Once the museum opened we stopped there. When you enter the museum you find a diorama of children at play. In this case, leapfrog.

There are also more conventional exhibits such as these dolls.

By the time we’d finished at the museum and lunch the rain had pretty much stopped so this afternoon we walked along Princes Street Garden to St Paul’s church. From here you get a great view of the castle.

At the end of the park is St Paul’s church. We went in the gift shop and book shop there. We also visited the sanctuary. This sanctuary has an amazing ceiling.
