Time is wearing on and so far we have 5 wanting to do City of the Dead Tour .... I will be booking this sometime around week of 8th October, so any other takers need to let me know as soon as possible.  Just checked the time of the Tour for 27th and it is at 10.30pm, starts from just opposite City Chambers, and there is some walking involved, so sensible footwear is a must lol.

No room at the inn at Lauriston place :'(
Booked in at the Haymarket Premier Inn for Fri and Sat.
Could you give me some idea of where and when we will be meeting?
My minor back op was OK, and I can walk, but not TOO fast!
Hope all is well.

Hi Kooky,
Ann will let everyone know where to meet during the day as I probably won't be in till late on the Saturday (I'm nightshift on the Friday night).  The City of Dead Tour leaves from just beside St. Giles, just over from City Chambers, and it's a walk from there to Greyfriars Kirkyard.  Think the last time I went on it, they just walked along from the crossroads at Royal Mile to where Bobbies statue is, but other times they take you a slightly different route, which is all downhill :D

Hi kooky

really good to hear your op went well!

I promise we'll not do lots of walking and we'll stroll when we are!

I just need to finalise the details with the Scottish Genie Centre but I think if we meet up at their premises - I'll post a map later - about 10.15ish that should be just right.
