I wonder if any other X-Markers are going to be in Edinburgh for Hogmanay this coming week?

I'll be there in my Hunting Fraser kilt along with my two 18 year-old daughters. Their mum's back is playing up, so she'll be staying at home south of the border with our youngest son.

We'll probably be in the Old Town from around teatime/early evening doing the rounds of pubs like The Scotman's Lounge on Cockburn Street (great live fiddle music) and Deacon Brodies etc. My daughters, now old enough to drink. want to pop into Finnegan's Wake, though I told them there'd no doubt be a long queue. I might just leave them there and head down the cobbled street to the Grassmarket.

So, if anybody wants to meet up for a handshake and a drink (no alcohol for me this year, unfortunately, as I'm driving back in the wee, small hours), let me know where you'll be!
