The Streets of Edinburgh are fraught with Dangers!

With sharp teeth and a tail of vicious lashing this beastie on the loose was very scary as innocent pedestrians were assailed with it's fierceness as it passed along Lauriston Place. It's enormousness meant I couldn't fit all of it's length into my photo.
I luckily was on the other side of the street exiting the BBC tents. I had neither catapult nor bow and arrow to defend myself as the men at the gates of the BBC search for any weaponry so I'd left all that kind of stuff at home.
