Hi Ian.
I dont remember much about the Edinburgh Castle,except
our cabin.me and my friend from Swansea,and about six
"Queens".Great crowd,always flowers in the cabib,air freshners,
did all the cleaning and our laundry.I remember the Pig and Whistle
with the infamous (illegal) crown and anchor board.I was a waiter,
so never got into the crew mess for meals.Nice to hear from you,
keep in touch.
