Oh, thanks for the Edinburgh map! That's going to be useful for fic-writing.

Nor do the Jacobite men come off at all well here.

If BPC hadn't been so set on the cloak-and-dagger shenanigans, they could have sent for a sizeable contingent of the Camerons in the West Bow to come and just generally be present in that part of the Grassmarket. They needn't even have told them why--and then the redcoats coming down from the Castle wouldn't have got far.

But of course, this would have prevented Ewen and Keith from meeting, which is obviously the real object here. : )
