DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

  One of my all time favorite trips was to Edinburgh Scotland...It was so unlike anywhere else I had visited including the areas of England I'd been too. One of the aspects of the city that I found so fascinating was the history, the ghostly, unexplainable stories and legends that are so much a part of the Royal Mile, the hub of the ghastly goings on which have been talked and written about for centuries. Back to those later...    The city itself was exciting, all the people hustling and bustling through the streets as we took in all the sights...    And those sights? There are so many of them, but none can compare with the sight of Edinburgh Castle...what an imposing structure that is, as it sits above the city, looking quite mysterious, lending a truly a theatrical and almost surreal feel to the town, including the very beginnings of the spot where it was built, on the site of a dead volcano, called Castle Rock. Lets play circle the ghost game!    Inside the Castle
