Best part of my husband and I’s trip to Edinburgh

Mary Queen of Scotts was amazing! She did a wonderful job of story telling and giving the group historical facts while adding some humor and light hearted moments! Not to mention it’s truly a bang for your buck! 10/10 best part of our trip to Edinburgh.
