Auld Reekie (and that's just my socks)

by wrongbus - last update: Sep 22, 2004

Edinburgh has always made a big impression. Back in 1634, Sir William Brereton, Major General of half the shires in England, strolled into Scotland's capital, took a quick look round and declared it full of the most "sluttish, nasty and slothful people" to which the more switched on citizenry almost certainly replied "thanks, you should have been here during the Festival."

 Lots of interesting information served with a large dose of (Scottish?) humour. Looking forward to more......
