- Report
-
Knights met in the traditional spot of the Tolbooth Tavern and sauntered to Robert Fergusson's graveside via his
statue outside the Cannongate Kirkyard. It was a typically wet and windy Edinburgh evening so Steve limited his reading of
Sir Precenter's poem Auld Reekie to a couple of verses as a tipple was poured.
Knights then enjoyed a convivial evening courtesy of the Cannon's Gait
(where there was live, traditional Scottish music) and then The World's End (where live whisky was poured) and then
Whistlebinkies... probably a convivial hostelry too far.
OCDC,
Thanks to everyone who honoured Fergusson, Sir Precenter.
