Travelling to Scotland soon

[hotwine]

Jackson's on High Street is an excellent restaurant; had dinner there one night. For details on that and others see http://www.edinburghrestaurants.co.uk/

We flew British Airways into Gatwick north of London and took a connecting flight up to Edinburgh, but on the way back we took a first class express train to London... a very nice way to travel, smooth as silk at speeds up to 150 mph.

You won't need a rental car in Edinburgh; it's a very compact city and you can walk everywhere. But expect the weather to be cold and wet.

Ask a bartender for a Scottish lager.... some of the best west of Bavaria.

Currency is still the British pound sterling.
