Christening the new Edinburgh Walkabout
Edinburgh Castle, the focal point of the city
We headed to Edinburgh in the midst of the vivacious and fantastic Fringe Festival when the streets were alive with performers and free tickets to countless shows (we saw 5 free shows - and most of them were good!).  On our first night in this great city we went to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, saw military bands from all over the world (below), a haunting rendition of the Last Post as the mist rolled in (below right) and the fantastic Swiss drummers doing all kinds of things with their sticks (ahem!... below)

Swiss drummers - you can see their sticks flying through the air

Trying traditional Scottish food - a deep fried mars bar!  The haggis wasn't too bad either, but I wouldn't order it again!
