Unfortunately no, but Edinburgh is a great city and I know you'll enjoy yourself. More haggis than you can shake a stick at...

Never been there so it should be interesting.

Is haggis as nasty as they say?

As long as they have Vodka I'll be fine.

I heard that Badger is only going because Andreas will be there so I have paid Johny to go so that Mon did not look bad as a lonely Swede in Scotland.

If I were you Johny I'd make sure to get that $1.00 in advance or you might never get it.

Yes - one end of the main drag. Another one worth looking at is the North British - right by Waverley Station on Princes Street.

Nice looking hotel but unfortunately the restaurant is under construction so no breakfast.

Why not set up a smorgasbord in your room for your friends?

Well, Im banned forever from Caledonian since my last visit in 1992. Actually they banned all Swedish Compaq visitors since my visit. I thought roomservice in a first class hotel would be able to fulfill some minor requests. I had to go myself to a 24/7 Boots.
