Travelled  via  a high pass to what is left of the great Roman wall built by Emperor Hadrian and followed it for some way. A lovely pub lunch in a pretty village and visited the house where Mary Queen of Scotts stayed in Jedburgh. Finally passed into Scotland…we might need passports next time? The referendum for Scotland’s independence from the United Kingdom was immediately in evidence with the Yes/No campaign advertised everywhere. Checked into the Nira Caledonia in the New Town part of Edinburgh city and already I’m liking the feel of the place despite the mist and drizzle which I believe is part of the character of the place, although the sun did set and shine over the chimney pots outside my window. Finally some ‘healthy’ food…Scottish salmon and green vegetables!
