We stayed in a cute cottage in Newhaven in northern Edinburgh on Sunday and Monday night. On Monday we spent a full day out in Edinburgh Old Town, starting with catching a double decker bus into town. We made it to every amazing destination on our itinerary in the order shown below, before heading home on a tram in the early evening.
