Me and my flying toilet
You might think it's a difficult life being a press critic. You have to wear a lanyard. You have to spend literally minutes typing up your reports every evening.

I'll never forget coming out of Waverley Station in 2001 on my first visit to Edinburgh and seeing a man in full Highland dress - the kilt, the sporran, the little dagger in his sock... I was so excited to see my first real American tourist.
