I was looking at some pictures earlier and I ran across an Infrared picture of the family deep in Mary Kings Close. So I scanned it in and removed some of the scratches.
Mary Kings Close is just off of the Edinburgh Royal Mile. A close is what we would think of as a closed off alleyway, kind of. Mary King’s is pretty famous and has become something of a tourist attraction. It’s called the most haunted place in Scotland.

The girls really enjoyed the “Scary”tour. In fact Nora became a Plague Doctor” for halloween two years running because of the stories about the close during the plague years.

Mary King’s Close is the best known close on the Royal Mile thanks to its 300 years old legends and ghost stories but, until recently it has also been the least visited. In the past few years, the close not generally open to the public has been open as a tourist attraction and is now called ‘The Real Mary King’s Close’.

Catherine,
We’re doing okay. I’ve just been a slacker when it’s come to up dating my website. It doesn’t seem like much is going on I guess. I’m going to drop a couple of posts up today to at least do something. (-:
