Holy crap… I thought I’d been in rain storms, but nothing I have experienced can live up to just the first one we got caught in on Day 1 in Scotland. We were walking to High Street (Royal Mile) in Edinburgh, and all of the sudden the blue sky disappeared to blackness and it started to just pour and pour.
We found shelter under a slightly slanted building, but it soon started raining sideways so we had to make a break for a covered sidewalk across the street. We waited it out under there with a dozen or so people for like 20 minutes. Then it let up enough to ‘normal rain’ and we walked down to Holyrood Palace.
As soon as we got to the middle of a courtyard (aka, farthest possible point from shelter) it started to pour again! This time was even more gnarly than the first. We ran for cover under a glass overhand on the new parliament building. This time it was over an hour before it let up enough for us to walk around. After that ‘episode’ it never really let up for the rest of the day. It went down to a light drizzle at times, but it was constantly raining to a degree.
Like I said, so amazingly GREEN
