So today we met at 8 o’clock, then we went to see two incredible statues in Falkirk called the kelpies. They represent two horse heads, but the name indicates they are actually Kelpies, a mythical creature from the Celtic bestiary. The Scottish mythology is one of many monsters and spirits, and Kelpies are a wonderful example of this: malevolent water spirits, they dwell in lochs (Scottish lakes) and rivers, where they take the form of breathtakingly beautiful horses to attract humans, but once someone climbs on them, they're dragged into the water by the Kelpie, who drowns them and eats them.

Then we moved to an incredible feat of engineering, the Falkirk wheel, a unique rotating boat lift -the only one in the world, in fact- that can move a boat up 35 meters. Using Archimedes' principle, it can connect the Clyde and Union canals using very little energy, and makes it possible to go from Edinburgh to Glasgow -Scotland's biggest cities- by boat only.

We ate there then we went to the centerpiece of this trip :

Edinburgh, an old and unique city also known as Athens of the North or Dùn Èideann, its original Gaelic name. It is in another time, with buildings from a wide variety of time periods. When you go there your can’t see everything because every building is an architectural masterpiece.

During that time in Edinburgh we also went to the Edinburgh castle. Sitting on top of an ancient volcanic site, it overlooks the entire city, offering an unforgettable view of Scotland's capital. It's probably the most emblematic landmark of Edinburgh, and the most iconic castle in a country known for its beautiful medieval ruins.

This castle was amazing and full of story. It was made in 1130 and is therefore almost 900 years old.

This journey was incredible and all of the activities were fun and interesting.

This city is honestly so different from any french one, it was undoubtedly a unique experience.
