More pictures over at my Flickr page (somewhere in the right margin, look for photos).

The Gathering

I like it - apart from the weather.

That one sentence about sums up the visitor experience of Scotchland in general and Embra in particular.

This weekend, clan leaders from all four corners of the globe [Globes don't have corners - Ed.] will meet for the biggest brawl gathering in recorded history. The locals have already started boarding up their windows in preparation.

Bring it on.

The Director's Cut - Shaun of the Dead on Twitter

Cramond

So today I grabbed my camera and trotted off down to Cramond to get some photos to keep you from gnawing your own fingers off with boredom. Click any photo to enlarge.

It says here that Cramond was once the site of a Roman Fort. Who knew?


Yup. Here's some Roman ruins, so it must be true.


Legend has it that the Romans brought stinging nettles to Britain with them, so that they could flagellate themselves with them to keep warm. I kid you not.


Although why they didn't just whap themselves with our own native thistles beats me. Beats. Heh.


Any road up. Cramond. Popular for the boats and that.


Not to mention Cramond Island.


There's a causeway connecting Cramond Island to the mainland, but it's a good idea to check the tidal tables before venturing out.


Ah, well, maybe another time. Oh, look! A pretty boat!


I love watching the sun reflect off the water. Very relaxing.


Another boat. This one doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Still, it's quite pretty with the trees in the background and that.


Bye then, Cramond. Shlater!


I could totally get a job with the Scotch tourist board.
