Made it home last night although we did have to walk onto the ferry yesterday, and pick up a replacement coach at Oban - lots of pictures but I will work on them later. Today we hit the town, had breakfast at the Mercat, then up into the High Street where the fringe acts were out in force, more so with the bright sunshine.
Next stop was a visit to the underground world of Mary King's Close, the old Edinburgh streets buried beneath the City Chambers. I first went went down there about thirty years ago when on the nightshift after pre VIP searches of the City Chambers, and it was really spooky then - just as it is now - but in those days it was only used as a special visit for private guests of the Council - but a fascinating insight into the old city.
From the High Street we popped into the Bank of Scotland museum on the Mound,(FREE), then down to see Archie the Pole Dancer at the Standing Order.William and I went to the Salt Cave in Marionville Road - quite an experience, I had a therapeutic snooze while William took in the saline air to help clear his chest - different.
Finished off with a lovely dinner at The Mercat Bar before heading home on the big red bus - right to the doorstep.
