Well, we were warned that a Super Scary Storm was coming. But as with all the previous, Storm Julia is a bit of a pussy. Nevertheless, Julia, " fair fa' yer honest sonsie face. " If you get the chance, be up at top of Calton Hill (any local will tell you where it is) before One pm to hear the One O'clock gun fire and see the One O'clock Ball drop. The view all around is amazing. Especially after a rain downpour has washed all the stour out of the air. Then visit Old Calton graveyard to see where a few Scottish worthies ended up. Then to the Cafe Royale Oyster Bar, across Prince's Street from Waverley Station. just for the ambience. And the good beer. If there is enough time come and visit the birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots. A nice wee toun. But whatever - Happy Birthday, Bonnie Lass.
