Day Trip to Edinburgh

Can't come to this end of Britain without visiting Edinburgh, especially considering The Scotch Malt Whisky rooms are here.
The train service is terrific, they run 8 trains every hour, and it only takes about 45 mins.

We chose a hotel close to the station, so an easy walk to a very enjoyable stay at The Scotsman Hotel. I'm not used to this sort of upmarketness, but I could get used to it. A very friendly greeting, a big room,

 great view, my own office - they obviously know how busy I am,

bed turn down.......

 and a very tasty breakfast - soft poached eggs with smoked salmon. John went the Full Scottish style, black pudding and all.
Yep, I could get used to this.
A Scotch Malt Whisky tasting followed an extensive walk around the back blocks of the Castle City and not a drop of water from the sky, and not too many drops in the whisky either!
