Edinburgh is gorgeous, but the Royal Mile is one big tartan tourist shop. Amazing old/restored buildings and architecture. Lots of restaurants/cafes that serve haggis, neeps & taters. Wall to wall cheap plaid.
The bonus? They also have cheap sporrans, John! I found you one for 55 L, went off to think about it and found the same one (white, rabbit fur, 3 dangling rabbit feet) at a different store, but the clerk there smelled sale and so he gave it to me for 45 and threw in the chain for free. He looked Chinese but had a Scottish accent. I love this place!
And you owe me $83. Canadian.
OH! And we went to The Bank pub for supper -- the burgers were RARE! Bright red -- unless they added something to the meat that I couldn't taste that made it red? Oh well, if we have e coli tomorrow, you'll know why.
Am so tired can hardly breathe, but trying to hold out until 9 pm before sleeping.
Will take camera along next time we go out.

Hmmm.... well lets just avoid eating any more raw meat shall we?? And... drink Coke, lots of real, sugar-rilled coke. Not pepsi. :)
