In the Capital

A few went to Rosslyn Chapel while the rest off us went to Edinburgh via the Forth bridges. Coffee in a restaurant where there were old photos of the rail bridge's construction and a memorial to the men and boys who died while it was being built (the youngest was only 13). The bridge was opened in 1890 having taken 7 years to build. The road bridge opened in 1964 and was at that time the longest in Europe. Seven men died in its construction.
Edinburgh was as it often is, windy and cold. We gave the open top bus tour a miss and settled for a gentle stroll up to the Royal Mile where an anti-royal wedding demonstration infront of St Giles cathederal was underway. Yes, today was the day which saw millions glued to their tvs to see another royal fairy tale unfold. We contented ourselves with lunch in "Deacon Brodies" with Patrick and Nicole, tea in the Holyrood café where we were given a free bit of wedding cake and a guided tour of the Parliament.
Back to Comerie with just enough time to change for the party given by Laura and David for our group and their hosts.
