Next morning, Sunday Sept 18th, we walked down to St. Mary's Cathedral for Mass. It was a lovely church and service.

The church has a foundation of Sisters of Charity, Mother Tereasa's order.

After Mass, being still Sunday morning and little traffic, we took the car out and tooled around to some of the sites. Unfortunately I didn't get very appealing light for pictures. Very flat. Below is the great view from Calton Hill.

Below is Edinburgh Castle.

This is the Walter Scott Monument. I sure wish I could have had a little more definition to the light. It has great potential.

After the long week of marching through the Highlands we were looking for an easy low key day. We had an early dinner and a pint at a cozy pub. 

Tomorrow we march through West Lothian.
