Storming the Castle

"Storming the Castle" finds us in Edinburgh, Scotland attempting what generations of English Kings failed to do; gain entrance to Edinburgh Castle. We had no horse or cannon, just a sweaty map that I kept in my back pocket. Historically, Scotland has been very particular about who they let inside these fortified stone walls, (English, no way in Hell. Irish, fat chance. Everyone else, maybe but probably not), and very strict about what happens if you try to enter without permission (death by sword, death by flame, death by prolonged humiliation). Nevertheless, armed only with charming American ignorance, we set out. We are happy to report that we were not executed.
