Traveling up to Edinburgh, and then our first night at the Whisky Society in Leith.

| 14:37:03 Chie and Vera on the train, already nearing the end of our journey here I think. | 14:37:29 Me and Vera enjoying the luxuries of First Class. | 14:37:53 Chie and a toasted sandwich. |

|
| 14:43:36 I always like this bit on the London - Edinburgh run where you can see the sea - I think this is possibly in Scotland already. | 16:51:29 The Vaults - the home of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society - and also our base for our three nights in Edinburgh. | 17:35:52 Vera and Chie enjoying a wee dram at the vaults. |

| 17:36:05 Me soaking up the atmosphere (and the whisky!) in the rather luxurious setting of the Society's members rooms. | 18:40:08 For dinner we went to The Ship on the Shore - just down the road from the Vaults. Here are our main courses - Chie had chowder, Vera had haggis, and I had a stuffed tomato. | 19:55:38 Back to the Vaults again for a couple of post-dinner whiskies - it was a bit hard to get a good picture with the light in here though... |

| 19:56:04 ....but hopefully you get the idea! |
