An afternoon in North Berwick
We decided to travel about 30 mins from Edinburgh to visit the Seabird
Center in North Berwick. It's a darling seaside town that we can see off in
the distance from our flat.

Greyfriar's Bobby's Memorial
This memorial remembers a special dog who would come to his master's grave
after he died. Disney made a movie about the dog in 1961.

The Museum of Flying: North Berwick, Scotland
Just a short train and bus ride away from Edinburgh is the Museum of Flying.
They had over 50 planes to explore including a British Airways Concorde. It
was a great museum that we all really enjoyed.

I got to tell the boys about my Concorde flight from 2003 only three months
before they cancelled all Concorde services. Here's the trip report I wrote
about my flight:

A Jousting Festival near Edinburgh
On our second full day in Scotland, we heard about this jousting festival
about 20 minutes outside of Edinburgh at Linlithgow Castle. It was a
beautiful setting near a lake where they performed two one-hour shows. The
kids loved it. And we ate our first fish and chips! Yummy.
