Edinburgh is such a cool city. The laughing boys are a little disturbing though. They weren't there twenty-plus years ago.

Hi Deniz - bet the kids love the laughing boys trail ... what fun for them - while the Museum obviously holds great history. So pleased you had this visit ... not sure about the Mars bars though ... perhaps my tummy is saying too rich now-a-days! Cheers Hilary

Thanks for coming by, Alex and Hilary! The Mars bar was very gooey...not something I'd eat again any time soon!

Looks like you had a great time, Edinburgh is a wonderful city. I wasn't sure you could still get deep fried Mars Bars - they're something of an urban myth!

They were kind of like melty chocolate with dough... A one-time thing!
