We discovered The Colinton Tunnel by another part of the Leith Trail. A mural was painted on it just a few years ago, representing a train ride as told in a poem by Robert L. Stevenson. Part of the trail is where a railroad used to be.
Our first stop Saturday was .Dirleton Castle. It was closed because of COVID, but we walked the grounds, which were very beautiful
This is Hailes Castle, which is really just ruins, but very interesting. It sits just above a section of the River Leith.
The other castle we saw was the Tantallon Castle. They are all beginning to look alike! Scotland has a lot of castles!
We also went to a village called North Birwick, where there is a beach and small boat harbor. The tide was out, so the water was very low.
The place where they moor the boars was totally dry, but we were told that it would be full to the top by afternoon.
We are really enjoying our time with the Young Adults. We had open mic night and karaoke for our FHE activity Monday, and everyone had a great time. We didn't participate because I just would never do it! Charles might have been talked into it, but there were plenty of others who wanted to, and they were really good!
For some reason, ukeleles are a thing here, and a lot of the YA's play them. They sing really well too!

Josie is from zimbabwe, and did a popular song with some dancing from her country.
The sister missionaries got into it!
So did the Elders.
