Free Trip Around Historic Edinburgh?.....

Post by Tusker » Mon Feb 27, 2006 4:33 pm

I obtained the following link from the newspaper "The Scotsman". Admin --I'm a new user and if I've contravened any rules by posting this link, I'm sorry. If I've posted it in the wrong area please feel free to move it to a new location...

<Edited to insert (hopefully) the correct link. Can someone try it and let us know if they can watch the free movie? Thanks!>

Sorry! Try this one, and click on the link stating "UK first..." or just use the Windows Media download link. I've just tried THAT and it works fine. I like the story about the wee boy in Paisley Close.

Personally I can't see a problem with the link.

But I'm just one of 6 on the TS Admin Group :-

David -- It's a link to short filmed version of visits to Edinburgh's "dark places". I just noticed it when I was reading through the on-line version of the newspaper, and thought some members might be interested in having a peek. I certainly will later, but right now, I'm still trying to subdue my Granny who's proved to be a bit of an escapologist over the years......

Forgive me if I've midunderstood your question, but if you're talking about viewing the video, then click on the link http://heritage.scotsman.com/topics.cfm ... format=rss, then click "full article" in the Scotsman quote below, then "Innovative Video Podcast" then click download and the Widows Media Player will start.
