We’re in Scotland for the Geo Quiz, in the city where Robert Burns started to make a name for himself in the late 1780′s, and where his portrait now hangs in the Scottish National Gallery.

The answer is Edinburgh. Scottish musician Sandy Brechin sent us an audio postcard.

    My ears perked up when during the story on the question of Scottish independence I heard reference to Mr. Singh’s in Glasgow and their Haggis Pakora.  My wife and I had the good fortune to eat there while visiting Glasgow back in 2005.  It was nice to hear about the restaurant during your story.  It brought back fun memories.
