Safety in the Royal Mile

The busy time is calming down and it has been a hectic one, with lots of people signing up to tours of the town. Tours are many and varied and the quality of the products on offer vary too. I have lost count of the number of ‘guides’ with groups numbering sometimes 50 or 60 strung out behind them – an accident waiting to happen! You can do this safely within the confines of the Castle and the Palace but not in the open streets.
