If I ever drop dead on the streets of Edinburgh then it's more than likely
to be on this stairway leading from Cockburn Street to the Royal Mile / High Street.
It seems endless when you're climbing it on the way to the Fringe and I'm quite
amazed to have survived five ascents over the last two weeks without suffering
a cardiac arrest. (I'm already part way up when taking this picture!)
Might hire a team of Sherpas next year!
