It all started at the water cooler in office, on the way back to my desk stopped at my friend's desk and asked him what is the next coolest place in UK to visit and he replied "Scotland". I asked him to book a
return ticket for me over the weekend and "walla" my start and end of the trip is fixed, now all I had to do is fill up the gaps. Booked a hostel in Edibrugh and a one day tour. Thanks to my good luck(that means google maps) the Hostle was bang on the side of the most happening street of Edinburgh, 'The Royal mile'. The Hostle experneice was a first for me, 8 people(boys and girls) from around the world confined in a small 
room. The city is small enough, within 5 hours of walking we can see it all. The famous Edinburgh castle marvelous. To date every 1'o clock a cannon is fired to let the ships and city keep a tab on time. The Scottish parliament(commissioned in 1998) was more of an expression of art rather 
than a place for Politics. On the day tour we did head out to the Lockness lake. The water is as dark as Guiness,temprature always minus 2 and its 27 mile length is haunting. I join the list of failures to spot the Monster. The snow capped mountains were so beautiful that it made me regret why did i ever not head to Kashmir.The city has so much history that the guide calls aything post 1800's as modern!
