At the top of the Royal Mile is the Castle.



Lots of building work, getting ready for the Tattoo.



There was a wedding that day. Alex and I think it must have been a military person as the garrison chapel is nothing much to look at.

But next door to the entrance is an old water tower that has been converted into shops. One of which is Geoffrey (Tailor). Without further ado, in we went. Got to say that it was a bit of a rabbit warren. Round and round, little rooms and alcoves, then suddenly, this.





Everything you can see was once filled with water - of course, there wasn't any cloth or looms then, just millions of gallons of water. This is where Alex bought that great navy blue kilt (see other thread - somewhere).

We then headed back down the hill.



Note, Alex trying to dive out of shot and as I photographed down the hill, we were being photographed ourselves.

Next - The Bottom End.

Regards
