First couple of days in Edinburgh

After two long flights, I arrived into Edinburgh on Saturday afternoon. I decided to watch Mary Queen of Scots on the plane to get some historical background. Even though the film actually isn’t that accurate according to the reviews, they filmed at some of the locations we’re going to (such as Holyrood Palace).
I walked around Edinburgh and took some photos.

Yesterday morning I went to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery - there was an older section with portraits of Queen Victoria and Mary Queen of Scots, but also a contemporary section which included David Tennant, Alan Cumming, Tilda Swinton and Queen Elizabeth II.
