Thanks for uploading these, im from from Edinburgh. The Thunderbird monument you speak of is actually called Scott Monument. Ive been up it once and its a very narrow winding stairway to the top. Thanks for uploading these!
The Edinburgh Tattoo is coming to Melbourne in two weeks. I would love to see it but the tickets are a bit outside my budget. They are building a fullsize replica of the castle. http://www.edinburghtattoo.com.au/

The monument always looks to me as if it is going to shoot off to the moon!

I agree, it does look rather like Thunderbird 3!

I think a lot of Scots went to Newfoundland?

A lot more Irish, really, plus French and British. Irish still reigns in Newfoundland. 😀

That’s interesting. I didn’t know that they went on tour! Tickets are rather expensive in Edinburgh too!

I think this is their first tour.

I checked out that web site, that’s about £150 for a ticket, it’s about the same when in Scotland.

I hope it’s on TV.
