    There was a Canadian travel show aired this weekend, titled "The Whisky Trail", all about scotch of course and a group of Torontonians coach-touring the distilleries, but they did a few minutes about the Royal Mile and managed to show only a few circa 1820 shops and none of the tat that is described in this thread. While it's true that most of their Royal Mile quest was to find a purveyor of the infamous Scottish deep-fried Mars bar, it really makes one doubt the veracity of one's travelogues if they showed only 10 yards of the real mile....

    Perhaps they were being tasteful and only wanted to show the best of the Royal Mile
