Winter Recap 2: Edinburgh and more London

Edinburgh Castle holds the Honours of Scotland (The Crown, The Sceptre, and The Sword of State) along with the Stone of Scone used for royal coronations.  Unfortunately, I couldn't photograph these cool things, so here is a link: http://www.rampantscotland.com/know/blknow_honours.htm

Obligatory scotch whiskey purchase:
