Thank you Colin Jones for being awesome... \n\nBeing our first time in Edinburgh, we decided that we have to take in the local sites and do the touristy thing. Since there was a big group of us, we had someone go buy the tickets early in the day to make sure we would get tickets. We heard about crazy lineups and did not want to miss this. \n\nNo pictures. I think those are the two saddest words to my husband. They don't allow photography unless they're taking your picture for money because the National Exchange is built above... Spoiler alert: which is the reason they closed the closes. As we wandered through, we were told about what life was like for the middle class... what happened during the plague... \n\nHe brought us to what seemed to be a big apartment with many rooms. In one of the rooms, a Japanese Seer saw the ghost of a little girl who died during the plague. She left her a doll and since then, people have left a mountain of toys. Even a Westlife cd. My husband swears he felt a cold breeze on his back in the room. It was night, it was dank... it could have been anything. \n\nWe were shown one last apartment, but we weren't allowed inside in case we wanted to lick the walls or something. Our guide told us there was lead in the wallpaper and he couldn't trust us not to ingest it. Fair enough. \n\nAll in all, I was glad we came here... got a bit of city history... GARDY LOO! Even the toilets yelled that when you go to flush them. Or I'm crazy and a ghost said it... or someone standing outside the window yelled it.
