to 
do in Edinburgh. The place where they used to burn witches sounds

will be taking plenty of photos of the Chinese restaurant that used 
to be a teashop."

Martha-just thought of a couple of other things outside of Edinburgh-
just south of town if you look them up on the internet. One of them, 
if you're interested in buying crystal or dishes, is the Edinburgh 
Crystal factory.  The other is Rosslyn Chapel, which supposedly 
houses the Holy Grail, and is one of the most interesting historical 
churches this art major has ever seen in her life. Amazing place, 
and there are many books about it. It's within 10-20 miles of 
Edinburgh. A best selling book in the states now is The DaVinci 
Code, and there's a whole chapter on the Rosslyn Chapel in there. 
Weird place. The link is:

If I can figure out how to put up pictures of JKR's former 
Nicolson's/now Chinese Buffet so that you can recognize it when you 
see it, I will. The witch burning site is a brass plate on a wall 
outside the esplanade of the castle with snakes and faces on it with 
a narrative about witch burning.
