One hot minute


It remained cold for our last day in Edinburgh, and everyone felt good in their new coats. From a trip to Wonder World for some much-needed indoor running and playing for the kids, to a tour of the Scottish Parliament, the Queen’s palace at Holyrood House, and a hike up Calton Hill, we put some miles on the new coats and felt quite good about that purchase.

When we arrived in Glasgow, and checked into our lovely suburban home, Scottish weather continued to confound us. From freezing in blustering cold to sweating in brief flashes of sun, the answer seems to be stay inside or dress in layers.

The view from Calton Hill. Note, one in a t-shirt and two in the infamous Highland coats
    
Scotland's disgrace - it was meant to be another Parthenon, but they ran out of money and it remains like this
Thrilled to be in the Scottish Parliament
  
A four bedroom, three bath home in the suburbs of Glasgow

The staircase to the top of the Lighthouse, the building designed by Charles Mackintosh  
 
The view is worth the climb
Doctor Who fans at the TARDIS. Like always, just left unattended on the street
