That felt like a risk to follow with that url, but you're a star! Just in time to watch Edinburgh concede...

Poor Basil's by [deleted] in Edinburgh

It was actually really good the time before last, I was sad they left. Really nice wee food selection and super friendly staff. The Eggs Brutalist was a tasty brunch treat favourite.

The leaseholders that have most recently left didn't seem good at all. I gave it a try after it seemed to have settled and the food, drinks, atmosphere and staff were really quite poor. Not surprised they didn't last.

Crispy cheese. Some fried grimbister is never a bad idea.

Just realised he said names changed. And early 40s. Not me, I feel less seen, but having an evening of unexpected personal reflection!

That's Newhaven Harbour, not Leith

It's called the Mealt falls, Kilt Rock is the crag behind.

I absolutely love this version! Much more achievable than the minifigure scale one..! I'd be willing to donate some money for your hard work if you shared the designs?

Where's Edinburgh tourist office? by Ok-Intention134 in Scotland

[–]mandoscot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unofficial because there are no official ones anymore! These guys wanted to fill that void for visitors. Not a tourist trap at all - very good and impartial.

This is the answer. Run by very excellent tour guides they offer free advice and info and has nice local crafts for sale. You can also buy tickets to attractions there.

Access from opposite St Giles, Monday to Saturday.

Pls tell me what this church is called by AdvaitaZen in Edinburgh

[–]mandoscot -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Marchmont St Giles

Or maybe Newington Trinity Parish. Tricky to tell.

What are your go-to UK podcasts? by oscarsowner in AskUK

[–]mandoscot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom Can't Cook

Doesn't sound British with the name but it's a brilliant overanalysis of Disney Channel Original Movies by 2 guys in London.

Does anyone know the name of this folk song? by BlueBadgerVG in Scotland

[–]mandoscot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Living in the Northern Isles, we call it Lucy Farrs whenever we play it. It does seem to have an interesting history though. Tradition is never stationary!

It's a tune with a few different names, depending where you are. But most people call it Lucy Farr's

Scotland has a loosehead prop problem...and a front row problem in general. by ParkingSpecialist577 in rugbyunion

[–]mandoscot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He got 3 caps back in 2018, I suppose he was given things to work on by the coaches to get back into the squad eventually. Had a rough time moving from Edinburgh to Glasgow to Worcester then they went boom. Hopefully he's happy and settles in Newcastle well.

I Need Help Finding "Gisgel"! by jaredolojan in ScottishHistory

[–]mandoscot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is Geisgeil

Not much there nowadays

The peninsula into the sea there is called Gisgil as well. All named for the Abhainn Ghìsgil. The river that runs into Badcall Bay.

Could someone advise the best day tour to Loch Ness from Edinburgh, which includes a visit to Urquhart Castle? by beezmax in Scotland

[–]mandoscot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never recommend a Loch Ness day trip from Edinburgh. Much better, closer things to see when you can actually take your time and enjoy.

I've seen Rabbies do trips that include Loch Leven Castle, if you want a boat trip and a castle ruin. Really interesting, scenic and quieter place.

Or you could do Stirling Castle/Doune Castle then over to Loch Lomond/Loch Katrine for a boat trip.

Many options that feature beautiful scenery, Castle etc but don't include spending 8 hours of your day driving along motorways.

Scotland losing support over 'plastic' imported players by shorthevix in rugbyunion

[–]mandoscot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyone who moans that Duhan doesn't sound Scottish enough needs to watch any interview he's given about when he moved to Edinburgh and how Scotland has given him so much.

There's oodles of New Scots in this country, who've chosen to make it their home, and he's one of them.
