I got whipped!
October 26th, 2006
Karen did a tour of the Edinburgh vaults today and learned lots of the history of the city and the bridges of the Royal Mile. The HB team in Scotland are nice, a focused team of 14 guys working all in one room. After work Karen and I went back to the vault tours and did the “ghost walk” which was similar as to the day tour that Karen had done but with a much more significant ghost storytelling component. The tour guide Euan picked me and an English man out of the crowd and we represented a pair of English businessmen that the Scots tortured for being treasonous (whipping included). We did the walk through the dark bridge spans and ended off the evening with a pint at the pub and the tale of Burke and Hare, two notorious killers of Edinburgh. It was a fun evening, definitely love the Royal Mile, I kept dreaming of all the street theatre and sword fights that could be done.
