I'll be in Edinburgh from 16th to 19th September, Nelson, and will keep an eye open for you in case you are there at the same time. We're bound to recognise each other as I doubt there will be any other guys in kilts about the city!!

Thanks Alan for the names of the two taverns which have live music (traditional, I hope). My pal and I must try to fit in a visit to one or both. Those I have tried in the past have been very disappointing indeed.

BTW, deep-fried pizza sounds absolutely revolting (to me!) Pizza on its own is bad enough, but deep-fried............. Thank Heaven's the Good Lord invented healthy food as well!
