Getting up at 2.30am to get first to the airport bus stop, take the bus and then get to the airport for a 6.00am flight really has knobs on it but when you fly Ryanair for the cheap prices you have to take what you can get! We arrived in Edinburgh, caught the airport bus in and walked to our hostel all before 9.00am. The bad news was we couldn't have our room until 3pm but were able to leave our packs and went out to see the castle and various other Edinburgh attractions. The following day we climbed "Arthur's Seat" a set of peaks right close to the city. Very strenuous, windy and cold but the view was rewarding.

For our last full day in Scotland we took a 12 hour bus trip right up to Inverness and back taking in Loch Ness (no we didn't see the monster!) Urquhart Castle, and Ben Nevis the tallest mountain in UK. We were slightly disappointed that the heather was not in bloom.
