I took a tour of the city of Edimbourg, Ecosse. It was une visite gratuite. I learned a lot about the city's history and about the alliance between the French and the Scots. This was brought up at the sight on the very old buildings of the fleur de lie all over. Before Scotland was really posessed by the Anglais, the Scots had formed a military and trade alliance with France. But when the Anglais tried to take them over (which they did), the French did not help them, so no more buildings were built in Ecosse with the Fleur de Lie on them after this time period. France in all fairness had enough trouble with wars elsewhere and did not want to involve themselves in another one.
