Working my way back down from the castle, I stopped for the one our tour at the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre. It consisted of a tasting of Dewar's White Label (you keep the glass), 3 movies in different rooms, and a ride through local whisky history in barrel shaped cars. It concludes at the bar & gift shop where whisky can be purchased. I don't think it is worth the £8.5 admission.

Continuing west, I reached St. Giles Cathedral just minutes before it closed for the day. They usually charge a fee for taking photographs, but didn't because I had so little time.

After doing some window shopping to kill time until 5:30, I went to Creelers Restaurant, but the web listing for the restaurant is wrong  and it doesn't open until 6PM.

Not wanting to wait, I walked back toward my hotel and stopped at Fishers in the City. They had a table, if I could be done in an hour. Dinner was a large bowl of fish soup (chowder with large chunks of fish and potato), followed by a heaping bowl of small mussels, washed down with a couple of bottles of Blackthorn Cider.

I finished most of the mussels and a man sitting at the table next to me said, "Well done!"

It was just another 6 blocks to the hotel. Before checking in and collecting my bags, I stopped to check email and buy some Merrydown Vintage Cider to enjoy in the room.
