You betcha;)
Old Edinburgh from Princes Street. It's so wild, because directly behind me are totally modern
buildings and shops! Beyond this statue, the ground goes down into a grassy valley. This had at one time been a loch (lake) that everyone's waste, (human and otherwise) dumped (oo, bad pun) into. When they finally drained it, they supposedly found over 100 female skeletons - women accused of being witches. Ironically, these women, had they floated, would have been 'proven' to be witches and burned at the stake. Those that sank were proven innocent. They were also, unfortunately, proven dead as well. Whoops.
Here's a view of the drained loch, now a beautiful park. With nary a skeleton or a witch.

And, really, no virtual visit to Scotland would be complete without a bagpiper, yes?
Stay tuned for JERRY PATT GETS ACCUSED OF WITCHCRAFT...

I'm sure we've mentioned sometime in the distant past that Scotland is the ancestral home of the Lyle's, beginning about 1060 (and, Heather prompts me to mention, the Finlayson's as well). Did you feel the vibe?
As for your PS, this won't be the first time Jer's been accused of witchcraft will it? I've heard stories....
Thanks for the call while you were at the Olives, BTW. It was great to hear your voices!
Unk
But of course I knew that!
I even have a little something
to share with you to prove it;)
(ooo, the excitement builds...)
