While we were in Edinburgh during the summer we decided to go on a little trip. After visiting Portobello we got on a bus down to the Royal Infirmary and walked up to Craigmillar Castle. I suggest walking up the little path to the top of the hill and then walking around the castle to the front entrance since the Craigmillar Castle Road does not have any pavement.

Approaching the castle from the back.

View from the hill behind Craigmillar Castle.

The castle is quite impressive since many internal bits are still intact…

…like this stairwell.

This pigeon scared me when I suddenly found myself eye to eye with it as I walked up the stairs.
