We could meet in the Scotsmans Lounge, Cockburn Street, which is 10 metres off the Royal Mile, about half way up on the right hand side, as you approach the Castle. Typical one-roomed Scots bar, with wooden floor, live music each evening and Sat & Sun afternoons. AND you can get a double (that is 2 x 35ml !) Famous Grouse for £2.60.

How about Friday afternoon around 4.00pm, or after the Clan Pageant from 11.00pm - although it may be rather busy then !

I would hope to be in there on Thurs evening as well.
