Having left 94 degrees F inward Washington D.C. end evening, nosotros arrived inward Edinburgh, Scotland, this morning, greeted past times cool, cloudy weather; the temperature was 34 degrees F too gradually climbed into the upper 40s throughout the day.
Sandwiched betwixt the North Atlantic too the North Sea, Scotland receives less of the warming effects from the Gulf Stream than does Republic of Iceland too cool, cloudy, damp weather condition is mutual throughout the year. Indeed, thick clouds covered the sea every bit nosotros approached from the westward too the source identifiable geographic characteristic was Solway Firth, good due south of Glasgow; the give-and-take "firth" applies to large bays too estuaries. Curving northward, our flying took us close the North Sea Coast of southern Scotland too and hence into Edinburgh over the Firth of Forth.
Since our tour does non start out until tomorrow, my married adult woman too I spent the 24-hour interval walking most that historic city, including a climb to Edinburgh Castle, its most prominent too well-known landmark. The chilly weather condition was invigorating merely pelting is forecast to start out this evening and, unfortunately, is forecast to hang to a greater extent than or less for most of the calendar week (thanks to the remnants of Tropical Storm Lorenzo).
