It is still associated with Windows Media Player but won't play. As I said, the ones from church and all the other sources do play. Maybe the site requires cookies or something. Thanks for the offer but I can't see a.b.s.e. since my news provider does not offer it. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

To allow the ships in Leith to synchronise their chronometers there's another indicator of 1 o'clock. At the top of Nelsons Monument on Calton hill a big white ball is raised up a flag pole just before 1:00, this can be seen from Leith. Exactly at 1:00 the ball's dropped. A couple of points on your photos from an Edinburgh resident. Edinburgh's not the biggest city in Scotland, although it is the capital. The population of greater Glasgow is > 1 milion, Edinburgh's only ~550,000. The clock tower in photo 2 is the Balmoral Hotel, I think the architect was just showing off. The Romanesqe columns on Calton hill were a folly started by a businessman some time in the 1800's. It was supposed to emulate the Parthenon, but he ran out of money fairly quickly. Beautiful church on Princes Street is St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile! I've been here for 10 years and with friends and family visiting I've done most of the tours round the city. I hope you don't mind the extra info. Nial. |
