I'll not be going to Morningside again.

I drove there once, b/c there was a shop I planned to visit.

Nearly got into a wreck and the damn shop was closed as it were.

And I now know it's a poncey shop so maybe it's for the best as I cannot abide ponciness for any reason, its being the paragon of poor manners, IMO.

So you wont be visiting Waitrose anytime soon then Expat!

There's a Waitrose in Stockbridge.

I did go in there, however, b/c I knew they had canned pumpkin and my American soul wanted to make pumpkin pie.

Which my thoroughly Scottish daughter didn't like.

My sil rents there (her dh earns mega bucks but they can't afford to buy) as her kids go to George Watsons.

Yes, Morningside is dear.

I fail to see why, though, it's no more attractive than anywhere else in that place, it's crowded, and there's no Firth nearby.

Meh.

I would live in Crammond (but doubt I could afford it). My aunt and uncle live behind the Barnton Hotel.

She moved there because she wanted to walk the children to school as Edinburgh traffic is a nightmare.

The Barnton Hotel is empty and derelict just now.

Permission has been granted, however, to re-develop it.

Into more flats!

So there's an 'Under Offer' sign hanging on it just now.

Look for your next, stupidly over-priced 'Exciting New Opportunity in Apartment Living'.
