We met while touring Europe in 1997. Since then, Pat and Phil came to America twice to visit us, first in 2002 and then again in 2010. In between, the four of us have toured the south of England together in 2008. Then in 2012 we flew to Adelaide and toured southeastern Australia and New Zealand with them. Now once again we come together, this time in Edinburgh, to do Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Maggie Dickson

Luca told us about the elaborate legion of Maggie Dickson, who was hanged but did not die.  Here's a website that provide a good idea of the story: http://murderpedia.org/female.D/d/dickson-margaret.htm.  The hanging took place in the Grass Market Square here in front of the pub named after her, which at the time was owned by her lover.
