9 – 11 September Edinburgh

Over the last few days visited Edinburgh a few times going up to the castle and the old town, visited Holyrood House (not one of the most impressive buildings that we have visited). Had two runs and a long walk onto Cramond Island.

The picture below shows what lengths people have to go to to stop pigeons messing up statues!

Walk into Fort William looking for the deep sea diver team walking from Fort William to the summit of Ben Nevis in aid of charity. Couldn’t find them so went for coffee then onto Claggan Park where the Ben Nevis race starts from. Caught up with a few friends, walked down to the pub on the race route for a drink until the runners arrived.
