Our last day in Scotland we decided to climb the extinct volcano that makes up the large park areas in the middle of the city.There were two ways we could go up the mountain (we found out later) the easy paved road way, or the hiking trail with stone steps cut and built straight into the side of the walls.
Yeah we choose the second option. It was a really beautiful hike. So much of the city to see and very few people to meet.
View from the top of the extinct volcano.Lunch was Haggis and Scottish pies at 'Auld Jock's Pie Shop'.
For our last dinner we ate at 'The Mussel Inn' where we got local raw Scottish Oysters with red wine vinegar and onions. Possibly the best ones I've ever had.
I got a pot of mussels in roasted red peppers and for dessert we had a Sticky Date Pudding soaked in Toffee with what seemed to be a Ground Cherry on top. We asked what it was, but the waitress didn't know, it tasted super sweet for looking like it's american twin.
Great vacation :)
