Thats a bitch mate as I work in the Gyle at the BT building ( next to the loch with the red front). I was at the burger van at RBS on Tuesday.

I had the Cossie in Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

I hope they looked after you up here. Next time you are up look me up.

I am off to refresh my CCNA next week in the centre of Edinburgh.

Having done most of them roads about 30 times I can more or less place every single picture location in my head.

Should have completed the journey by nipping on that ferry over to Mull and calling into the first pub you see and saying hello to my navvy Billy lol

Nice 1 Andy
