    Visiting Edinburgh / update

    Greetings, all. It has been a long while since I last visited the site, much less posted anything, but it is time for a social call.

    I will be in Edinburgh 29 October through 1 November, with possible brief side trips to Glasgow and Dunfermline. I was not planning to bring a kilt, but would be happy to share a pint with someone who is wearing one ... or not. So let me know if you might be around that week.

    I now live in Lille, and anyone travelling through the region should feel free to send me a PM. It's a convenient stop between London/Paris/Brussels, but a nice place to visit in itself.

    Sadly, no responses and so no opportunity to meet any Scottish XMarkers. But a good time was had nonetheless - mostly in Edinburgh, but with sidetrips to Glasgow and to Stirling. I will be back soon; it had been far too long.

    In the meantime, anyone travelling through Lille ...

    So Garrett, was this your first trip over to Scotland? How did you like it?

    Sorry, just seeing this thread now for the first time.
    I live fifty five miles from Edinburgh.
    Send me a PM next time you are coming this way and perhaps we can meet up.

    Not my first trip, no, but my first in a very long while. Getting there from western Canada is not especially easy; from Lille, much easier. So I will be back. Perhaps kilted next time, especially if some XMarkers are willing to get together.

    Alex, I would be most pleased to meet you in person.

    Next time around, then. I will try to give more notice - this was an unexpected trip.
