The audio tour was great, and also lead us through the remains of Battle Abbey, 
much of which are still standing.
We spent much of the 5th on the train to Edinburgh, Scotland.
Yesterday we worshiped in St. Giles Cathedral (High Kirk) of Edinburgh, Scotland,
and toured Edinburgh Castle, and spent a lot of time walking around to find the right bus back to our (very nice) B&B.Today, we visited the Palace of Holyrood (where the Queen spends part of her summer)
and the adjoining remains of the Holyrood Abbey. 
Then, we saw the Queen's Gallery, which is a constantly changing display of the Royal collections. The current display features a number of Italian Renaissance paintings and sketches. We also visited Canongate Kirk, or the Kirk of Holyroodhouse, which was built sometime after the destruction of the Abbey. 
I may talk more about these in a later post, but it has been almost sensory overload these last two days...almost.
