  • I rode around Edinburgh city centre yesterday on roads I’ve avoided for years; bike paths are a shitshow. Probably saw no more than ten folk from Grassmarket to the Royal Mile. Spooky as fuck.

  • It's ~30 years since I've been to E'mbra.
    EDIT - About 10 years, actually, but on that occasion I was passing in and out of Waverley, on my way to John O'Groats.
    But Grassmarket looks as lovely as ever.
    I still miss the passing of the brush shop.

    ETA - just realised that Robert Cresser's Brush Shop was at 40 Victoria Street and not Grassmarket.

  • But Grassmarket looks as lovely as ever.

    it definitely doesn't look like this normally! From this point in the year on its baws-deep in tourists, taxis and tour buses until September. Have to say I'm enjoying seeing the city centre so calm and peaceful-if also empty and eerie-for a change, it's a totally novel experience.

  • Yeah, usually avoid The Grassmarket/Royal Mile if I can help it but it looks fucking ace with nobody there.
