I wish I could make it however I've not been in that area since 1997 you may want to mention that it is not Bobby it's Robbie, or Rabbie. Also it is not the Ode to a Haggis it is the Address to a Haggis. I hope you have fun but just wanted to point that out, it's the proofreader in me.

I hope that there's going to be a good turnout from XMarkers!
Sorry you can't make it --- it's short notice, I just got the email tonight.

Sorry, I'm working the 15th, and it's too short a notice to get out of it. [I'm beginning to dislike retail more and more.... ]

I will also have to bow out. I foolishly made plans on Valentine's day without consulting the lady, and in order to get back into good graces have lined something up on the 15th.
Sounds like it should be a good time though. I've been meaning to make it up to the Royal Mile for over a year now and haven't had the chance.
Mein et al, have an awesome time and be sure to post pics and let us know how it went.
