Lovely. The Standing Order was where I learned of all the rule one needs to follow to get a beer from a 'spoons. Walked out still dry and moved on to better spots nearby. Did I miss anything?
Aye, a bonnie glass of hazy, Alba Haar you might call it. :)
That bacon is exactly like our Ontario back bacon, to a t. (I suppose it's rather the reverse, actually). I used to know a butcher in Scarborough, Toronto who sold all the meat components of that grill. He called the square sausage "Lorne" (and a more counter-intuitive story of its origin is hard to imagine).
All hail to the pubs of Edinburgh, I hope they still carry that rich Navy rum that made a good nightcap after the pints.

Alan,
you missed some interesting beers and cheap prices.
The Oak king beer is a German hefeweisse style ale brewed by Welsh/Scots collaboration so you would not expect it to be clear.London murky it isn't.
Old Geezer,
it didn't taste even vaguely like a Hefeweizen. And was sludgier than any German Hefeweizen I've had.
It's a weird strength for a Hefeweizen, too.
