Our one day in Scotland began with a tour similar to the one in Dublin, except with a native of Edinburgh. Along this tour, we visited Edinburgh Castle. This day was very overcast, but we were lucky enough for the rain to hold off while we were outside at this castle. After leaving the castle, we had free time for the rest of the day. Both the RIT group and the group from Missouri traveling with us decided to visit the Camera Obscura and Museum of Visual Illusions along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. The museum was a lot of fun and we ended up spending most of our free time there. After leaving the museum, we walked around the rainy streets for a bit, stopping in lots of shops. We met up with our group at a certain time and had a Chinese buffet for dinner, then had a bit more free time before we had to catch our night train to London. The night train was QUITE an experience, to say the least. I've never been in a room so small in my life! I didn't remember to capture a picture, but I was able to find one online, which I posted below.

Again, this is not my photo, I found it online, but this is what our rooms looked like in the sleeper car to London. Whoever took this photo was likely standing in the doorway of the room. To the left, there is no more room than is shown. That's pretty much the ENTIRE room!
