On Monday we had another great day in Scotland. First we went to St Giles' Cathedral. It is probably the most beautiful church I have ever been in. There was hardly anyone inside it which was nice because I got great photo opportunities. The architecture in it was amazing! The ceiling had arches and the stained glass windows were beautiful.
Next we went to the Scott Monument. It is a monument for the Scottish author Walter Scott. It was completed in1844. It is 200 feet 6 inches tall. The three of us all climbed 287 stairs to the top. The views from the top were great.
After that we went to Calton Hill. At the top of this hill is a monument called the Nelson monument. Dad and I Climbed to the top of this monument too. It was only 170 steps to the top. From the top of the Nelson monument we got even more amazing views than we did from the Scott Monument.
After visiting the two monuments we walked back to our hotel to get our bags and then headed to the airport. The three of us had a wonderful time in Scotland and I hope that I can go back some day!
