A BIG thank you to all you wonderful people who took the time to reply to my query about New Register House. The responses were overwhelmingly in favor of researching there, and I appreciated the details about how the system works. I shall definitely plan on going, I love finding pieces to the puzzle :) Just one more thing, can anyone give me some idea as to which part of Edinburgh would be best to find a B&B - somewhere close to buses, so it would be relatively easy to get to NRH. Please e-mail me privately. Thanks. Christine, USA
