Great timing!
In a spectacular piece of timing, we walked round the corner from our hotel, up onto the Royal Mile, and happened upon this scene. The Scottish Crown was being taken from Edinburgh Castle to the Scottish Parliament for the official opening of the 5th session.
So surprised was I that a couple of minutes later I lost my balance and 'measured my length' on the pavement. I felt fine and was picked up by two under-cover policemen who rushed over to help. Amazingly, I didn't smash my camera to pieces - it hit the deck with a hell of a thwack! It's now 3 days later and I have some very colourful bruises!
