After the excitment of Edinburgh Castle and our educational stop-off at The Scotch Whisky Experience we grabbed an uneventful lunch of panninis, which were eaten strolling down the Royal Mile.  On the way down we stopped off at St. Giles Cathedral; St. Giles is the patron saint of Edinburgh and I remembered the lovely church from my first visit to Scotland, 13 years ago.  I also remembered being told a very interesting story about the heart, laid out in the stonework, in front of the church, and the requirement of spitting on it.  While I seemed to remember the "point" of the story, I can't recall why spitting on the heart was so important, but had been reminded that it was in part for good luck.  So I made Ray spit on the heart, after great protest, and then he decided he needed to take a photo of me doing the same.... sorry for that... We made a quick stop off inside and Ray took a few photos of the lovely Thistle Chapel. At the bottom of the Royal Mile we met up with Charles and Mary to climb Arthur's Seat.  I was under the impression that this would be a casual stroll up a bit of an incline to get some great views of Edinburgh.  After all - you get to drive half way!  While I was seriously mistaken about the incline, I was not misinformed about the views - a panoramic of the entire city and the Firth of Fourth. The wind was unbelieveable, but the view was worthwhile!  Here is an amazing panoramic photo Ray composed!
