Are you going to this? If I were in Scotland I certainly would! You know, we'll expect a full report if you do go!

I won't be, even though I live about an hour from the Palace. The Ticket price is a lot:

Advance price:
Adult £71.00
Young Person (18-24) £63.00
Child (5-17) £60.00
Disabled Person £60.00
Access companion Free

On-the-day price:
Adult £75.00
Young Person (18-24) £66.00
Child (5-17) £62.00
Disabled Person £62.00
Access companion Free

I'm a stingy Scot. If the tickets had been cheaper, then yes I definitely would be going.

I'm with Karen, those prices are a little too steep for me.

Way too expensive for me. Why are the prices so steep? I can't imagine folks paying close to $100 for a tour. 15 pounds/$20 per person is a much more reasonable price.

It might be a way to keep the paint-throwing protestors away.

Here is Edinburgh we have faced none of the harassement that London has faced. It seems that we are not important as the likes of London, Paris etc. I'd like it to contiue that way. It's very peaceful up here in the backwoods.

That sounds lovely. I'm glad you don't have to put up with that nonsense. That's one thing I don't miss having moved from southern California. The weather is nice, but the quality of life and the pace are better here in the midwest.
