Yeah I know its pretty close you can see both cities from the air, i'll post up when i'm there could be a free beer going :wink:
On a side note I hired a BMW 116D with an M pack, seats were backache within 5 minutes and it was dog slow but mega smooth on the motorway. A longer drive would see me signed off work for weeks with back ache :grin:

Not a massive fan of Edinburgh, looks nice but half the time your hard pushed to find any Scottish people as there are so many tourists 
I much prefer Glasgow  :cool:
