A haven of green in central Edinburgh!

I came here for the Fringe. I left with slightly less fringe. I have found some cool pills on Facebook which might help me grow it back. I think its stress related. The circus didnt help, I think im scared of heights, but not when im high up, when other people are high up and im below them if that makes sense.
