After the OSS Watch conference this evening, I headed into Edinburgh with D. to get some food and do a bit of the tourist thing.
We originally intended to walk along the royal mile, but as we approached North Bridge we couldn't help noticing large crowds of people and emergency services on the junction with Princes Street, so we decided to investigate.
The subsequent mad moblogging photo sequence of the Edinburgh riot speaks for itself. (I'll upload the rest when I have a proper connection, along with a short commentary.)
Afterwards, a quick trip to the Castle (shut), and then a brief search to find my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh, Rick's. An excellent meal of shredded duck in ginger followed by crispy chicken and parmesan, and some very enjoyable conversation. Everything from SMEs and FLOSS to drunken mishaps and lifetime experiences. And y'all know what a talkative guy I am, right?
Tomorrow morning is an early flight back to Norwich, but I'm hoping I'll have time to climb the hill in Holyrood Park before I go, since I failed to do it last time I was here. And it is right outside my window.
I'm beat. G'night.
