I am more of a tea person than a coffee person. I can’t give up my daily tea habit, which I enjoy from breakfast to night. In the UK, there is a wide variety of tea flavors available. Recently, I discovered a teashop in Edinburgh called Rosevear Tea. To try their offerings, I purchased Bruntsfield Breakfast Tea. While the taste was ok, it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. I will be exploring alternative flavors in the coming days.

Stirling Castle is one of Scotland’s iconic castles, offering a spectacular view of the Stirling area. Built in the 1500s, the castle has played a significant role throughout history.

It served as a royal residence during that time and is easily accessible from Edinburgh. With attractions such as the Royal Palace, the Great Hall, and beautiful gardens, it is definitely worth a visit.

I always thought punch cards were used solely for programming early computers, but I recently discovered that this is not the case. During my visit to the National Museum of Scotland, I encountered the Jacquard loom, invented by French weaver Joseph-Marie Jacquard in 1804. I learned that this production of patterned textiles was automated using punch cards, demonstrating their use as far back as the 1800s. I was surprised to find out about this historical application of punch cards.
