"Heave awa' lads, I'm no deid yet"
From http://www.rampantscotland.com/
On 24 November, 1861, the 250 year-old houses at 99 and 103 High Street, on the Royal Mile, collapsed. 35 of the occupants were killed but as the debris was being cleared away, a young lad was heard to shout out from within the collapsed building "Heave awa' lads, I'm no deid yet". The memorial inscription above Paisley Close, which was built in place of the collapsed houses, has a more anglicised, middle-class interpretation of what was said - "Heave awa' chaps, I'm no' dead yet". The tragedy (and the overcrowding which was prevalent at that time) resulted in the creation of a Medical Officer of Health in Edinburgh for the first time.

With the best will in the world, MK, if i'd wanted those pics posted here, I would have posted them here
When are you going to move the pics from Bridlington, Perth, Stirling, the other ones form Edinburgh by an other poster & the USA ones

Well there has been a consideation toward making the GLAGSOW projects threads more strictly Glasgow, as was the still stated intention. Anythin other than Glasgow is deviation and as such should really forfeit a point!!!

So, you heard it here first. You deviant!

Perhaps the Hidden Edinburgh franchise bneeds to eb rolled out!

OK, OK.. I'll buy a ticket for Sunday's walk, at full price too, where do we meet?

Hollowhorn,

Did you enjoy the Tatoo. Heard that it was the best for a number of years!
Couldn't be there myself but this cheered me up
