Edinburgh.
We flew out of London today heading for Edinburgh. Whilst waiting on the plane, I saw a white streak flash by that was apparently a Concorde taking off. We landed at Edinburgh airport and were whisked in to our hotel by a friendly cabbie who gave us the really basic course in Edinburgh history and culture. This is it.
The part of town we are staying in is Stockbridge. At only a couple of hundred years old. Its in the NEW part of town. The old part of town, where Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace and the universities are- thats the OLD part of town, being a lot older than a mere couple of hundred years. And the culture part? There are pubs, lots of them. Because that’s what people do here for fun-go to pubs.
I’m sure there is a lot more to Scottish history than that, and I intend to find out. We arrived at our accomodation. A pub, with a beer garden. I like this place. We shared a pint of Guinness and a bowl of chips then put on our walking boots.

I’ll have to find a atlas to check out all these places!
