I forgot my camera again.

The Queen visited Edinburgh today for the opening of the new Parliament building. Didn't see her Royal Highness (can't say i'm sad about the missed opportunity) - but saw lots of men in kilts and heard beautiful traditional Scottish music. The Parliament building itself is quite modern and was completed (as usual) late and over budget. I like the building - but many Scottish people are split over the modern design.

It was quite nice to climb Arthur's Seat - and instead of my Nomad providing the soundtrack - having real live bagpipes doing the job.
