Our tireless pelegrinarian James C. is in Edinburgh today. He writes:

Mulled wine at the Antiquary pub on a chilly but calm and moonlit Sunday night in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

If this doesn’t put you in the Christmas spirit, I don’t know what will. Here’s a look at the outside of The Antiquary, from its website. 

I want to go to there!

UPDATE: James writes to add:

The food at the Christmas market is unbelievable. Venison burgers with raclette? Check. Scottish oysters, cullen skink seafood chowder and lobster rolls? Check. French comté cheese stir-fried with sausage, cream and chopped potatoes in giant pans? Check.
