Archaeology.

23 April 2012

The first visit of the day was to the National Scottish Museum. There were all sorts of really neat things. First, I visited the part of the museum that discussed the origins of Scotland. Apparently, Scotland was made out of volcanic eruptions. These volcanoes (like Arthur's Seat and the hill the castle is on) are now extinct, but they have been shaped over time by glaciers.

In the interest of time, I'm going to share some of the pictures I took a give a brief description.

Neat chess set!

The Elephant House is where J.K Rowling went while she was writing Harry Potter

The view from Carlton Hill. There were also people dancing and playing music in preparation for Beltane (the first festival)--which will be celebrated next weekend.
