[kj] OT: Edingburgh, German invasion mk III

Awww, that's a shame about the Beggar.  I'd heard it was being refurbished 
but that was the last I'd heard.

Good call on the ghost tours.  The ghost tours are fantastic and are quite a 
good way of seeing areas of the city you wouldn't maybe normally see.  You 
might even be lucky enough to get the guy who stood for Parliament!
