My Amazing Trip to Scotland Part 2

Aberdeen

After we went to Edinburgh we went to Aberdeen and we stayed in a really nice apartment. The day after we arrived in Aberdeen we went out to a park and there was a kind gardener who gave us some freshly grown peas right out of the pods. I went on some slides as wel,l which were amazing, so were the winter gardens, which house the largest cacti garden in the whole of the UK!

There were loads of good rides like the looping star roller coaster, the pirate island adventure golf, dead man’s drop tower, disco waltzers, vertigo aerial assault course, white water log flume and the galleon flying pirate ship, we also went in the animal barn and the XD motion cinema. The XD film was about a dinosaur safari escape! To take a look at the map click here.

My Amazing Trip to Scotland Part 1

Edinburgh

In the holidays, I went to Scotland for a week and first we went to Edinburgh and then to Aberdeen afterwards. When we arrived in Edinburgh, we went to Arthur’s Seat, which is an extinct volcano; Arthur’s Seat is 250.5 m (822 ft) high, and it was really hard work climbing up it, but was worth it because it had loads of amazing views all around.

The next day we went to Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, which was brilliant. It had loads of good views from the top and you can spy on people, give them electric shocks and play the stairs, when you walked on the stairs they played the piano and so much more. From the gift shop I got a Spy pen and a static science kit. My favourite thing there was a mirror maze, which was really tricky.

Afterwards we went to Greyfriars Kirk and found out the story of Greyfriars bobby (a dog) his owner is an Edinburgh policeman named John Gray who died in 1858. His dog was so loyal that he watched over his dead master’s grave at the Greyfriars Cemetery for 14 years until his own death in 1872.
