Today was a walking day. We walked to Leith, around the waterfront, back to Princes, all of Rose, and everywhere else. The pedometer said over 20,000 steps, so we did pretty good. Obviously we stopped for a little refreshment at the Theatre Royal Pub, and while we were there had a bite to eat. Sylvia ordered a plain old sandwich, and I had the Haggis, Neeps, and Tatties - it was the best I ever had.

The afternoon was rather uneventful, we just walked for 4 or 5 hours, stopped and looked at whatever seemed interesting. The Jekyll & Hyde Pub was interesting.
For dinner we decided to go back to where we were with Dave and Lindsay's friends, the Barony. Sylvia got the Fish and Chips again. We thought theirs was the best we had the entire trip. I ordered Steak Pie with mashed potatoes and peas. It was very good too. As we were eating, there was a young couple sitting behind us just chatting and having a drink. She was absolutely beautiful and seemed to be American. For some reason she just got up, walked over to an old, dusty piano that was right next to us, moved the table in front of it, sat down and played something classical that was unbelievable. She played one song, got up, and went back to the table to drink her beer and continue chatting like nothing happened. There were only six people in the place...fantastic. I sat there stunned.
On the way back to the hotel we stopped at the Conan Doyle and had a Monkey Shoulder and coffee. Tomorrow we leave Edinburgh and fly to Dublin for our flight home on Wednesday.

Haggis, neeps and tatties? Sounds like the names of three Gullah ladies in the Lowcountry but not half as lovely.
