Location: Cramond
Theme: Boats

Location - Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage
Weather - Rain forced us indoors
Optional theme - None. The original theme of "boats" - intended for Cramond - didn't seem relevant here
Refreshments - The Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel - welcoming, and with loads of space
Gotcha - The museum is small, and there was a lot of overlap in the things we photographed; I've tried to minimise this as much as possible.
