At lunchtime we arrived in the city of Edinburgh and
straight into the heart of the fringe festival. Our goal here was to meet an
old college friend; which we duly did in the Jolly Judge. As we were waiting; we
overheard a debate as to whether or not Hogwarts was real; to which we duly
answered; ‘These Muggles’! We also saw a spitfire in the parade area of the
Royal Tattoo; where our friend managed to sneak by my other buddy while I was
in the gift shop. The pub has had an interesting history of local magistrates
passing through before going on to pass sentence in court; a practice that is
sadly lacking today.We were then treated to a whistle-stop tour of the National
History Musuem; where we ducked in and out of the corwds with the help of our
local guide. I have yet to ascend to the mound in Edinburgh; ride the wheel or visit
Camera Obscura. Perhaps time will allow me on my next visit.
