After a pitch inspection or rather a street inspection we are open. Stuck out in the wilds of West Lothian with thick snow coming down and news on the television of heavy snow for Edinburgh too I wasn’t sure it would be sensible to open but after consulting with our neighbours Red Dog we decided to give it a go. The BBC forecast is heavy snow and a temperature of minus one for the city centre but hopefully some hardy souls will feel the overwhelming need to buy their loved ones the Scottish Enlightenment CD (our biggest seller yesterday) for Christmas and make their way to the Grassmarket.
