Edward standing at the entrance to Paisley Close (Close is the Scots word for alley). If you cannot read the overhead inscription below, it says “Heave away chaps, I’m no dead yet.” The inscription memorializes the collapse of two buildings at this site. Buried in the rubble was a voice that spoke those lines. The man was one of the few found and rescued and his words live on.
Edinburgh Castle at the top of the hill in the distance.
Alan is eating Black pudding and bacon. In the United Kingdom and Ireland it is literally made from pork blood and a relatively high proportion of oatmeal. In the past it was occasionally flavored with pennyroyal differing from continental European versions in its relatively limited range of ingredients and reliance on oatmeal and barley instead of onions to absorb the blood. It can be eaten uncooked, but is often grilled, fried or boiled in its skin.
Horst is eating Haggis with a mustard sauce on it. A Scottish dish made of the heart, liver and lungs of a sheep or lamb, combined with oats, suet and other herbs and spices and then cooked in a casing traditionally made of the animal's stomach. Thus, haggis is essentially a form of sausage.
The group, Edward, Carol-Ann, Sven, Ortrun, Irene, Horst, Elaine and Alan.
A beautiful evening in Edinburgh, Scotland. Note that the time is 11:30 pm! Still not dark.
