I always seem to miss the interesting stuff in Edinburgh. Not that I'm into swirling petticoats as such, but y'know.

I mourn the Caley Alehouse :cry:
Glad you got a keepsake.

The trouble with the Caley Alehouse was that I always managed to find time for a final pint before the last train back to civilization only to discover the train bogs had been locked

There's still Ryrie's, I suppose, if you want to keep up the tradition. I think the moment I saw the Caley shut was when I finally turned against the cooncil trainset...

You're not comparing Ryries to a locked First Scotrail bog, are you?
