11th May Edinburgh Castle at Sunset

Edinburgh

I caught this going to the Grassmarket for something to eat and a few beers!
I needed the beer to help me wind down from a very busy and intense week stuck in the office at Camera Obscura!
I'll post some more from my Edinburgh trip over the next week, I've got a very hectic weekend ahead!!
It's my Sisters 50th Birthday on Saturday and she's having as huge bash, starting at noon and going on till whenever!! that's followed by a mates Stag night with the "blackening" on Sunday, so I'll probably be suffering big time!!

Oh, oh. Googled it.heheheh
The groom, meanwhile, is taken out for a stag night on one of the evenings preceding the wedding. The “Stag Night” is meant to be a celebration of the last night of "freedom", and a way of reassuring friends that being married doesn't mean that they are shut out of your life. The groom, like the bride, is dressed up and taken around town by his friends and workmates. There is often a great deal of harmless practical joking, of which the poor groom is the main target. When the night winds down, the groom is sometimes stripped of his clothes and covered in soot, treacle and feathers and left overnight tied to a tree or post. In some rural areas an open lorry is hired and the groom is paraded through his local area with much noise and celebration
