Today was....magical. We began the day with our first concert at St. Giles' Cathedral, the "Mother Church" for Presbyterians. The Choir sang so beautifully in this grand space. Their director could not be prouder! An added inspiration to our day: just before we sang the sun finally came out! The cathedral was filled with joyous, lovely light! It truly was a sign and inspiration for us all.
After the midday concert we grabbed a quick lunch then toured Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood House, the early summer residence of Queen Elizabeth. This evening we enjoyed a lovely dinner with traditional Scottish music and dancing and a taste of the haggis! We depart this incredible city tomorrow morning and head south into England. We will stop in Durham and end the day in York.

What a delight to know that you are singing in the holy place of our church's birth! :-)
