Went into Edinburgh this morning, the east end of Princes Street is a new city I’ve never seen before. It could have been Bangkok or Atlanta or Copenhagen or Sydney. It just reeked of commerce and globalisation. Nothing about it said Scotland, or even Edinburgh. Might have as well been in London. Fucking bullshit. Calton Hill was cool though. Lots of young tourist groups, Italians and Spaniards and Japanese. Here to see the real Scotland that they’ll no get at the bottom of the hill.
