I was not prepared for the sheer number of Harry Potter shops in Edinburgh. My first day there, I was in Haymarket, but then I moved to a hotel in Grassmarket (is there a theme here?). The latter one is on the corner of Victoria Street, which is supposedly the inspiration for Diagon Alley. At least that's what they said when I took the Literary Pub Tour, though they talked a good deal more about Robert Burns than Jo Rowling. That tour(/play/pub crawl) is highly recommended and not just by me.
Moved up the coast now. Driving on the left is fun, I guess. It's not all that hard really, but you have to really pay attention to driving again, as if you were still learning. Lane-keeping is the hard part -- and the narrow, winding, rainy roads don't help. But it's very pretty. I'll throw up a couple photos when I have some better internets.
