After being postponed for nearly a year, our Make A Wish trip to Scotland finally happened! A limo picked us up and drove us the 2 hours to Logan Airport in Boston for our flight to Edinburgh. We arrived in Edinburgh mid-morning on May 24 and spent the next couple days exploring the city, visiting Greyfriars Kirkyard, the Surgeon’s Hall Museum, and Edinburgh Castle.
