Laggan Dam
This is obviously not Edinburgh. Off on a week up north for a quiet Christmas on the Isle of Skye. Very wet on the way up with swollen rivers everywhere. All the sluices open on the dam. Getting a bit dark on the shortest day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laggan_Dam

National Economic Forum
Held in Surgeons Hall. This was a questions and answers session with members of the "Cabinet". Mike Russell Secretary for Education; John Swinney, Finance; Fiona Hyslop, Culture and Exterrnal Affairs; Derek MacKay, Local Government and Planning. Everyone looking suitably serious as they had drawn the short straw. The First Minister was off to meet with Colnel Chris Hadfield the "Singing Astronaut".

Big Wheel
This is a new wheel as well as position and orientation. Enclosed cabs, a bit bigger and not very interesting lights.

Star Flyer, St Andrew's Square
The modern version of the old chair-o-plane. The white lights are on the bottom of the "chairs". You can whizz round above Sir Henry Dundas on his column 150 feet up. There was much screaming in evidence when I took this. https://www.edinburghschristmas.com/starflyer

Water of Leith
High winds, low pressure and lots of rain. The Water of Leith in spate. There was a tidal surge at Newhaven Harbour which all but covered the benches. http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-weather-travel-chaos-latest-updates-1-3220338
