As luck would have it, Princess Anne was supposed to arrive at Holyrood the same afternoon we were touring it, so security was beefed up a little and we couldn't visit all of the rooms. Still, the rooms we visited were breathtaking. You almost catch yourself thinking "damn, the life of a royal must be cool" until you hit the part of the tour where they stop, point to a reddish spot on the stone floor, and say "Mary, Queen of Scots, was murdered in this room". Aye, I'll stick to working in a power plant.
