Fleshmarket Close

YIC has just read "Fleshmarket Close" by Ian Rankin. It's one of the Inspector Rebus crime series which are set in Edinburgh. This book featured a couple of skeletons found in a pub cellar on Fleshmarket Close - a small pedestrian street off the Royal Mile. It's an entertaining book, and what's more Rebus drinks Deuchars IPA - a man after YIC's heart.

Those who have been on a Duff trip to Murrayfield, will know that The Half Way House pub on Fleshmarket Close is always the first port of call after alighting from the train at Waverley. YIC won't be able to cheer on Scotland at Murrayfield this year, but he wishes them all the best as they march towards another Grand Slam (possibly).
