Edinburgh is a great city--I had a few fun days there when I studied in London. I seem to recall a decent Scottish writers museum. If you have time, take a few days to tour around the highlands.
There was also a pub that had the most amusing condom dispenser I've ever seen. "Scotch Whiskey flavoured condoms. Warning: Do not use whilst driving."
haha,thanks for making the conference such a fun & inspiring time!!
Hope it went well! Did you have time to see some of the place?
Hi Matt, Amy, and Pete, I'm still in Glasgow right now. Will write you after I return home Thursday.
Did you understand anything that was said in Glasgow? I met a guy from there while I was in Edinburgh and had no idea what he was saying.
The accent was indeed hard to understand. I often had to ask twice in conversation. But I have a friend who lives there who was a tremendous help.
