FILMED EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW YESTERDAY

Edinburgh was very congested with ongoing bridge and road repairs and roads closed as part of operation Unicorn which will see the Queen being driven down to Edinburgh from Balmoral. Just a few shops closed, open toppers not running, lots of pee'd off cruise tourists whinging they couldn't get to the old town which wasn't really true, just their coach couldn't no problem walking a few yards!. I told one that we apologised that they were inconvenienced but we only get a Queen passing away once in 96 years. The buses other than First looked immaculate and there were pictures of the late Queen at all the bus stops which had electronic ad panels, thus the whole length of the main Princes St had them receding into the distance, their resolution may conflict with the camera setting but I trying to get lots of shots with the royal image and bus. All the drivers there were 100% friendly and welcoming. No hassles at all, the weather was as forecast but dry, the light cloud allowed film in any direction.

Glasgow, well lets say that there were lots of friendly drivers at the bus station, quite sunny and warm enough. The town centre was well Glasgow at its worst, certainly not for the feint hearted but there were open toppers there. I can see no mention of the MTT running day at Southport being cancelled so we;ll be there filming, the weather looks to be good.
