nenya_kanadkaThe important part of our trip so far:
A real live police public call box, seen on the street in Glasgow--and painted light green all over. :D Cannot tell if this is to remind people that it's not actually in service any more, or as a heads-up that it's not actually a Doctor Who prop, or what. We were deeply amused nonetheless.
Photo byrohan_lady who we met up with in Edinburgh on Wednesday morning. We're all staying at valtyr's place, which is a short hop from the train station. Very important as that is how we've been getting around to places such as the Viking village that's set up in Glasgow this week. The Vikings were all very friendly and informative and we each ended up buying some little memento. What I really want is a leather arm-and-hand guard for looking badass in. Did not buy one (£££) but did get to shoot arrows! One of them hit the little cartoon enemy smack in the chest, whoo.
All well so far. Enjoying the vague sense that I've stepped into an AU where the electric outlets are different and people sit on the other side of their cars to drive (somehow, that feels stranger than that they drive on the other side of the road).
Updates to follow, possibly with pictures, though you may have better luck with that atmuccamukk.

Now enjoying a lovely pub called the Butterfly and Pig, which I think is a great name. :)
