Cross Section

Emotions running high in Edinburgh today. The day of the Yes Scotland Rally in support of independence.
I met my pal M to visit the Mary Queen of Scots exhibition; we think modern politics is a cut-throat world, not a new thing. A fascinating woman, whatever you may think of her, she had so many cards stacked against her.
As a Scot and a woman I can't help but take her side.
The emotion on the streets of Edinburgh so close to where her husband, Darnley, was murdered, may have raised a few old ghosts.
However I think these tourists trying to go against the flow to Waverley Station had their own agenda.
