A Visit to Edinburgh
Tapescript
Chris Hudson Excuse me. Do you live here?
Rory McDonald Yes, I've lived here in Edinburgh all my life. My name's Rory McDonald. How do you do?
Chris Hudson Hi, I'm Chris Hudson from Phoenix1, Arizona. I'm an oil engineer. I'm on my way to London on business.
Rory McDonald How long are you staying in Edinburgh?
Chris Hudson Just a day. What can I see here in twenty-four hours?
Rory McDonald Well, most tourists want to visit the Castle. It's on Castle Rock. It's where the Scottish2 government used to be. From there you can walk down the Royal Mile.
Chris Hudson What's the Royal Mile?
Rory McDonald It's a narrow street of medieval3 houses. It's worth seeing. Then you really should visit Holyrood Palace.
Chris Hudson Who lives in the Palace?
Rory McDonald No one, except the Queen when she comes to Edinburgh, which is usually once a year. But the kings and queens of Scotland4 used to live there before Scotland was united5 with England.
Chris Hudson When was that?
Rory McDonald That was.. er, let me see.., in 1603.
Chris Hudson You seem to know a lot about Scottish history.
Rory McDonald Aye, well, I'm a McDonald of the McDonald dan. You know there are clans7 in Scotland, and we're all proud of our history.
Chris Hudson Does that explain the kilt you're wearing? Rory McDonald Aye. Each clan6 has a special kilt.
Chris Hudson I'd like to buy a kilt for my wife.
Rory McDonald You can buy them in Princes Street. It's the best street for shopping.
Chris Hudson What else should I buy?
Rory McDonald Why don't you buy some sweaters? Scottish sweaters are famous for their quality. And you must buy some whiskey. Of course you know that's our national drink.
Chris Hudson Yes, I've already bought the whiskey.
Rory McDonald Good. But remember you mustn't put ice in it. That spoils8 the flavor9!
Chris Hudson Oh, we Americans put ice in everything!
