Scotland

Edinburgh is a cool place. It's the second time I've been and this time I took some time to do a bit of exploring.
I don't like the shops so much. The city centre could be anywhere with the stores there. But the castle's impressive and walking around the walls was a cool place to get some song ideas. We climbed the Scotts Monument as well and couldn't find the door to get back down. Found a good old Scottish restaurant called MacDonald's.
The gig was in Portabello so we stopped on the way and explored Arthurs seat. That is an awesome hill. Stuck in the middle of the city, it's a wilderness. Stark contrast. Makes you realise that men can't block out creation totally which is a relief. From the top you could hear the crowds at the Hibs/Hearts game. Not sure who won. The crowd at the gig seemed happy enough tho....
We're back up there in a couple of weeks. Must get some square sausage (apparently)
