Ready to start the tour.
New town area.
It's hard to tell from this pic below, but this picture was taken from the top of a very steep hill. It was pretty challenging to bike up. Only three of us rode up the hill; the others walked their bike up. But you can sort of see the water and highlands North of the water over Brian's helmet. It was a really pretty view from here.
In St. Andrew Square.
Calton Hill off in the background.

After the bike tour, we stopped in a shop called Mimi's Bakehouse to grab lunch.
The lunch was good, but the dessert was fantastic. We shared the Oreo Cheesecake, and it was the best cheesecake I have ever had! And we bought a mug for our Mimi.
The view down the street outside Mimi's.
After lunch, we headed to the Ocean Terminal to tour the Royal Yacht Britannia. It was so windy on the boat; it was really hard to hang on to my phone to take selfies. Here's a pic entering the top deck at the start of the tour.
The sun deck on the Royal side of the boat.
Inside the Royal quarters.
The Queen's bedroom.
The Royal dining room. There was a smaller dining room, where they would eat, when there were no guests on board the ship. This table could seat over 30 people.
The Queen's office.
The Living Room.
A bunk room, where crew slept.
That night we went to dinner at The Scran & Scallie. It was recommended to us by someone Brian knows from work, who lives in Edinburgh. He said it would be an excellent Scottish meal.
Lobster ravioli to start.
Fish and Beef entries. They were delicious!
