On our little sojourn to Edinburgh at the weekend Rose and Ada took us around one of the city's many great free attractions,the Royal Botanic Garden,which was quite stunning on what was a lovely autumnal day.
One of the interesting features of the 'Octobre Rose' walks on Saturday was the firing up and baking at the 'four banal' which was the communal oven used during the Middle Ages. It allowed local inhabitants to bake their bread by paying a tax to the lord, who owned the oven.
