The Christmas festival in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh.

The ice skating rink in Princes Street Gardens, looking forward to trying this out. It's been a long time!

Not too many people on this during the week, on the weekend is another matter.

Mead? Coming back here soon!

Working out how best attack a roasted chestnut.

The German markets were excellent, lots of foodstuffs everywhere!

The view from near the art galleries.

Crepes! I'll have mine with nutella thanks :)

The Scott Monument, with (temporary) ferris wheel in the background.

Edinburgh Castle

By the looks of the name, classiest law firm/strip club ever!

Just outside our apartment, a monument to the protestants who were executed during the reformation.

Squirrel! The easiest way to spot a foreigner is: they're the ones who yell out squirrel every time they see one

Princes Street Gardens markets

Found our way back here, sooner than expected! The mead was warm, and tasty.

Sláinte!

After the mead, I decided to try the Glühwein while Laura tried mulled cider

Hot toddies!

Reindeer pelts, fairly bristly.

Night time ice skating. Best to go when the weather is rotten, cause it's mostly empty.
