Fergusson Pilgrimage
It's time to pull on some warm clothing, bring a torch and visit the resting place of Robert Fergusson in the Cannongate Kirkyard.
Meet in the Tollbooth Tavern at 19.30. Guests welcome.
Report
Martin, Dave, Colin, Derran and Steve met in the Tollbooth Tavern before heading out into the night to mix with ghost tours and down-and-outs in the Cannongate Kirkyard where Steve recited Fergusson's poem Auld Reekie. The customary whisky was poured over Sir Precenter's grave. Knights moved on to the Kilderkin and the evening progressed in keeping with many other Fergusson Manors... with the exception of the boat race against a bunch of freshers from an Edinburgh University medical rugby team which took place, seated, cans of Stella in hand, on the small roundabout at the bottom of the Royal Mile. The security cameras must have caught the Cape members wiping the floor with the young pretenders; one of whom immediately chundered: lightweight posh boys for sure. Thanks to everyone who attended.
