Was in Edinburgh today with day job (Revenues Software Suppliers Group with Scottish Executive) and Janet came along. Theory was she was shopping but she came across the Long March for Peace just as it was finishing its walk towards the Scottish Parliament so she joined it for the last few miles (and was delighted to chat with Donald Gorrie MSP on the way).
The Long Walk for Peace began on Thursday with anti-nuclear protesters setting off from the Faslane naval base on the Clyde. The group, including church and union leaders, walked the 85 miles to Edinburgh where ministers were asked to oppose plans to replace Britain's Trident missile programme.
