Scotland III: October 2009

• As you will have read, we visited many restaurants:
  • Two leftmost below are from Restaurant Petit France
  • and the rightmost is from the North Bridge Brasserie, or, as I prefer to call it, the Scotsman Brasserie, in the old bldg. of the grand Scottish newspaper, The Scotsman.

• The next many photos are from Glasgow and are all taken by Kari.
  • Mon./Tue. 19/20 Oct. I gave seminars at the universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow, both in Glasgow. We stayed, one night, in a very nice hotel, Abode.
  • And had a very dinner at Two Fat Ladies around the corner. Kari saw "all" the museum, was particularly enthusiastic about The Glasgow School of Art designed by Rennie Mackintosh.

• Left photo show Kari at our dinner in the poshest restaurant in Edinburgh: Number One.

  Cannot be recommended: The Amuse Bouche, two different sets of consecutive servings were exquisite.

  But the (meat of the) starter and the main courses were basically without taste.

• Right photo shows Kari having a Margarita at Brown's.

• With George Hay, a friend of us for almost 40 years, we had lunch on Wedn. 21 Oct., Dines' late father Ivar's 105th "anniverary", at The Kitchin in Leith. Fabulous.
• You can just see a bit of George as he takes our photo.
• Kari and George appears outside, on the Quay.
