    Looking forward to this one, got overnight accommodation booked already What's the Waverley Bar like DumfriesHibs? Looks OK on the net
    The bar is ok but like others, I've only ever been in whilst waiting on a train - I wouldnt drink there out of choice. Also, the hotel bit of The Waverly is used for homeless accommodation. So if you're planning on staying the night you might want to look elsewhere. I cant comment on the facilities as i have never stayed there but just thought I'd make you aware of that, since its not clear from the outside that the council use it for this too.

    Cr*p. You have to go via Glasgow. It's quite a long journey on the train for the distance it is from Edinburgh.


    I don't know if they still run the same routes but the bus used to get there much quicker. It's also a really nice journey.

    TBF, I've already got a flight from Munich to Edinburgh to factor in, so half an hour either way is neither here nor there.

    If you've not already booked your flight it would probably be quicker to fly to Manchester and train from Manchester Airport > Carlisle > Dumfries (probably cheaper flights too)

    What will they do when the Huns turn up ?
    A lot of the Huns will be locals. Save them the trip up the M74. A relation of mine used to live beside the ground during 50s to 70s and said, without prompting from me, that that the Jamfarts were by far the worst fans who came to Palmerston.

    Cavens has great food and great beers. We'll get a great welcome, Hearts used to wreck the place when they came down.
