Day 2 began with another walking tour.  Our destination is Edinburgh Castle.

We made several stops along the way.  I quickly noticed how many statues and monuments there are in Edinburgh.  I don't even remember what this one is for!

But this one is my favorite, because I'm kind of partial to bears. 

 

It’s a monument to Polish soldiers who have fought for The Crown. The bear’s name is Wojtek, and our guide (confirmed by Wikipedia) told us that Wojtek served with Polish armed forces in WWII before retiring to the Edinburgh zoo.

Wojtek sits adjacent to the Princes Street Gardens, where our tour will continue!
