  1. The drawback of reading Iain Banks’s “Raw Spirit” whisky tour book is I now have a very long list of whiskies I want to try! If we ever get back to the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh I will have to spend a long time - and a lot of money! - in their dedicated whisky bar. It is also marvellous reading more re whisky names I recognise from the computers at #StAndrews Computer Science back in the 1990s 🙂 #Scotch #whisky #Scotland #IainBanks #BalmoralHotel #StAndrewsUniversity #ComputerScience #Scotland

  2. TVtip: vanavond op RTLZ, 20.30 uur, drie afleveringen over het luxe Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh.
    Voor wie nog een leuke Schotlandreis aan het plannen is.

    #BalmoralHotel on #EastHastings close to Gastown, opened in 1912 as a #HighClass #hotel for wealthy travellers. Chicago style elements of the hotel w/grid façade & massive overhang, were common on buildings built in the early #1900s in #Vancouver . #Neon sign on building was designed in 1940 by #NeonProducts, local company; in 1950s it was one of the biggest neon sign producers in the world.
