Diary of an Edinburgher

By LadyMarchmont

Is this a series?

Had a wander down to the Meadows this morning, knowing full well that there were to be a few Orange Order bands gathering. Quite a sight! And quite a racket!! There must have been thousands of 'em - they took about 2 hours for the last bands to march off into town - I know because we went for a coffee across the road.

Someone gave Archie a Union Jack flag on a stick, which he promptly ripped to shreds... is this an omen? Or is it just because he loves shredding things?

What a load of litter they left for someone else to clear up. Now why couldn't the leader of each band have a big rubbish bag, and tell them all to put their rubbish in it? Like any responsible teacher out with a class of children would do. Rant over.

Had a chat in the cafe to a young American lady with long red hair (Scottish father) who was here for two days. She wanted to know about the thousands of noisy people in different uniforms who were dropping litter everywhere. Not sure if my explanation made it any clearer.

So here's another man in colourful get up standing on wee Archie's lead. Is this a series?

At least this chap was quiet...
