We were very late docking in Edinburgh because were held up by the high swell and rough sees the previous night. It was too late to catch up with Mike for lunch.
In the end we took the community shuttle to Dunfermline and saw the castle, monastry and church. The church in in the ruined medieval monastery. Robert the Bruce is buried in the church, except for his heart. He wanted his heart buried in Jerusalem, but that couldn't be done, so it ended up in Melrose Castle instead.
The church has a pipe organ with over 3000 pipes.
A lady piper came to the wharf to pipe us away.
Everything now being tied down by the crew. Not a good sign..
We got good photos of the bridges.
The picture of frog and pig cakes are for TRUE ADELADIANS!!!!

Great photo of the bridges. Say hello to the Aegean Odyssey for us, and enjoy those afternoon teas! We miss sharing them with you.
