You are correct - the road from the Royal Mile down to Castle Terrace was blocked for about five days, because there had been a small landslide/ rockslide which was caused by a night of significant rain and gale force winds. This disturbed my regular walk to work, because I had to take the long way around via Grassmarket. Oh well, safety first, I guess!

We’ve been walking the same street… I got a shot a little earlier in the day when they were farther up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kplawver/151821477/in/set-72057594143083867/

Blimey, just stumbled across this website as I was about to turn in. You been stalking me???
I saw those ropes on Friday night as I walked from Shandon to the High St. Aye, no big deal, but I was at the Stand on the Thursday night too and your rightly reviled Mr Devlin had a go at me.. and tedious it was.
Oh.. and I was in the crush at the Hearts parade. At Haymarket of course cos the old great-uncle was in the Edinburgh Battalion at Arras. And the old gent serving in the Diggers is Eric. And I was in Oloroso too so recently. Lumme.
Tomorrow I hope you’ll be reporting that Islay is the place to get away this summer… Caol Ila to you. btw .. yer video is almost downloaded…..
