Haddo, Cavalcades and Rain

Well we are counting down the days now until we pack up our bits for the last time and hit the road for home. We are trying to see and do as much as we can in our final weeks and therefore have been a little slack on the ol' blog. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is on at the moment, making for plenty of activities. The only downer is that about 100,000 other people are also trying to see as much of Edinburgh as possible (of which about 50,000 are trying to stuff your hand with a flyer). Nae bother. Here are a few pics from what we have been up to in the last few weeks.

We spent one balmy Sunday arvo in Haddington. A beautiful market village about a half hour from Edinburgh.

This was our view of the Festival Cavalcade that kicks off the start of the festival. Some genius decided to put up a 7ft opaque fence along the street so that you can't actually see the parade pass. Nice.

Dunsapie Loch in Hollyrood Park in the twilight. The Loch was overflowing that evening after two and a half solid days of rain (this is supposed to be Summer).
