Old Town

I'm just back from Edinburgh, where I doubtless confused street performers and tourists alike by ducking in and out of every Close and Wynd on the Royal Mile. I have a fair few signs to post, along with a handful actually on the other streets. I'll post the up & down the Royal Mile photos over the next week or so.
