The wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine Middleton took place last week in London. The whole country celebrated the wedding and I too celebrated it with my friends in Scotland in our own ways. Utilizing the continuous holiday, we covered almost all tourist attraction of Scotland. We planned for a four day Scottish trip to visit places around Scotland and booked for our accommodation in Edinburg and Glasgow.
The remains of Urquhart Castle |
The most visited tourist attraction of Edinburgh – the castle was well maintained by the government and it showed the kings rule on those days. In contrast to today’s modern high-fi weapons of the country , the weapons and armors used by the kings in the 12th century to 19th century and the life style of the kings in those days was found fascinating. Even the remains of the Urquhart Castle which was used by kings in 13th to 16th century as a guest house showed evidence of the quality of the life in those days. The Palace of Holyroodhouse which was the official residence of the monarch of Scotland in the 11th century was too impressive and I really wished to live as a king for one day at least. Though most of the facilities available to the king of those days are available to most of the citizen of this country, the power and responsibility associated with the kingdom is too much.
Holistic View of Edinburgh |
Coming back to our today’s world, the contrast and change in the power and rule of our todays Queen was seen obvious. Am sure the Prince wedding added pride to the country and worth for the two billion people around the world to wait and watch.
