It got a bit windy in Edinburgh recently. Wind speeds of 102mph were recorded (on Blackford Hill, I think) and many trees are down around the city. We visited Lauriston Castle at the weekend, and discovered that one of the victims is the grand old Scots Pine (I think) that sat in the middle of the south meadow. It's not often the kids get to climb a 60ft tree, it's just a shame it had to be lying down for them to do it. We also visited the recently-reopened National Museum of Scotland, and found - among other splendid things - an area where you can examine a dinosaur skeleton while dressed as a scuba diver.
