Greetings, Father, and welcome to my island home, albeit I am far from it these days. If you go up to Edinburgh Castle, take note of the big guns on the ramparts: I used to fire them as part of ceremonial duties. Go easy on the pasties - not a carb-light option - but be sure to get some healthy haggis in you afore ye go! You may also want to learn this Scottish grace to say before you eat it:

Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it,

But we hae meat and we can eat,

Sae let the Lord be Thankit!

God bless your travels, Father.
