Scottish Top Ten

We took a roadtrip up to Edinburgh (you say it like this: Ehd-in-burrah) Scotland about a week ago. It took nearly 9 hours to get there, but someone without kids might be able to get there in 6 1/2 or 7 hours. Or, if you drive like my brother, 3 hours.

There was so much we fit into the three non-driving days of our vacation, I have decided to present it Top Ten List style for ya.
