I would go back to Edinburgh in a heartbeat. The National Museum of Scotland is one of the best I've ever seen. Great walking tours, especially of some of the underground parts of the city. We went to a session at Sandy Bell's and a singing session at the Tassie. And there's a Gurkha restaurant! For someone who grew up hearing about the Gurkhas, that was a treat quite apart from the food, which was excellent.

I want to know what you plan to do with your sword. There can't be too many katas for Saxon weaponry.
