Always look on the bright side... Hi. Probably all you need to know about me is that I'm a Scottish male, which will doubtless explain most of my Wikipedia contributions. When I look something up, I often find a gap which I feel the urge to fill. It does seem a bit self-defeating at times... My main contributions include: Argyll's Lodging Bruntsfield Links Burgh Muir Burke and Hare murders Caddie Canonmills Convention of Royal Burghs David Hackston Dean Bridge Easter Road Fountainbridge Great Polish Map of Scotland History of Edinburgh Jewish cemetery, Buttenhausen Jordan Burn Luckenbooths Mercat cross Richard Cameron The Singing Street Tollcross Vennel White Horse Close Younger's And I've (hopefully) made significant contributions, among others, to: Wha daur meddle wi' me? Abbeyhill Archbishop Sharp Arthur's Seat Battle of Dunbar (1650) Battle of Pinkie Cleugh Battle of Stirling Bridge (The battle in fiction) Black Watch Burntisland Ceres Coat of arms of Edinburgh Colinton Covenanter Crail Donald Cargill Duddingston Earl Haig Edinburgh (History section and general input) Edinburgh Castle Edinburgh International Festival Edinburgh Trams Forth Bridge (World Wars) Gogar Granton Grassmarket Great Fire of Edinburgh (1824) Gretna rail disaster History of the Jews in Scotland Inchkeith James Braidwood James Gillespie James Grahan, Marquis of Montrose John Knox's House Kellie Castle Leith Leith Links (The Plague of 1645) Leith Walk Mercat Cross, Edinburgh North Berwick Opera in Scotland Old Tolbooth, Edinburgh Indian Peter Princes Street Gardens Royal Mile Scots in Poland Scots in Poland contd.
