Holyrood Abbey :) I found the Abbey quite peaceful after a day walking up and down the Royal Mile. At one end sits Edinburgh Castle and the other end is Holyrood Palace. The Palace itself is pretty and fun on the inside. The Abbey on the outside is where all the history seems to come alive. We ended up being there on a drizzly morning and the rain made everything seem crisp and fresh. There’s a fee to get in and see Holyrood but it’s worth visiting at least once to see the Abbey and the gardens. #history
