"Take the High Road"
... There is the obligatory stop at the border for a and we finally settle into our apartment - another accommodation option this time. We have decided to spread out in somewhere with a washing machine! Without actually knowing it's address in advance, we land a great spot in the city centre, one block from the Royal Mile, a view of Arthur's Seat and round the corner from cafes and a Tesco supermarket. Microwave pastas and curries are on special so dinner is settled as a quiet night ...
