    Wanted to say thanks John. It's embarrassing to admit this but I grew up in Scotland. I still fly home regularly and used to work in the Cowgate long ago. I learned 4 things in 13 minutes that I did not know about the city and area steps away from where I worked for years. Everyone should watch these tours, worth every minute
