17 Things To Do In Edinburgh

Edinburgh was my favorite major city we visited while touring the UK & Ireland. The second we drove in I felt what I can only describe as magic. The ornate buildings, the tiny cobblestone streets, the charming castle overlooking the city. I can see why J.K. Rowling was inspired to write Harry Potter after living here. Find my full Scotland travel guide HERE, or read on to find a list of my top favorite things I recommend doing while in Edinburgh on your trip!

{new blog post} wore this outfit out in Edinburgh on the honeymoon. Zoom in on the photo – you can see that I've gained a bit of honeymoon weight. Still wore this pencil skirt because I choose to ignore any part of my brain that told me I look fat and instead listened to the part that knew this outfit would make me feel like a badass. (50% because of the @boohoousa GIRLS tee alone). Today on whimsysoul.com, I'm sharing outfit details and what Girl Power means to me.
