No Smoke without Fire

White smoke from an area close to St Giles? Jennie Geddes would be turning in her grave at the sight and wanting to throw more than one stool around.
However she needn't have worried, there were no new Popes being elected today in Edinburgh, just a fire somewhere nearby.

We visited the Museum this morning to look at the Indian exhibition. It was small, the jewellery and paintings wonderful, but the café was overly expensive, so said His Lordship.

This view of the Old Town was taken through a window next to the dinosaurs and boisterous children. We beat a hasty retreat.
