Edinburgh is a great place for meeting other travellers. Two of my friends (who are South Africans) and myself stepped out of a pub in Edinburgh and saw some people playing with a dog. One friend, who loves dogs, started to play with it also. As it turned out, they thought it was our dog, we thought it was their dog, and it wasn't actually either, the dog belonged to someone else entirely! Anyway, this got us all talking and as it turned out these people were australians, so we ended up going to another pub with them and had a great time! (I must admit, I felt a bit left out as I was the only person who came from Scotland - a tourist in my own country!!)
