From time to time during my travels, I come across signs that I find interesting for one reason or another. Sometimes, they contain clever writing, are humorous, or remind me of some place or event. Here are some from a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland.

 A bridal shop.

| |
 The lamp on the table made this an interesting sign for an interior decorator.
|

 So, when you have the very best burgers in town, how do you distinguish yourself from those other "pretend" burger joints?
|
| |
 And these are just a few of the side effects experienced by women who eat Marmite!
And just in case you were wondering, PCOS is short for "Polycystic ovary syndrome". |

 Hmm, this looks like a place an Aussie might invent, or at least patronize.
In any event, Innis & Gunn is a brewing company based in Edinburgh. Its beer kitchens serve craft beer and food.
One of its brews is "Frank & Sense Golden Ale", a golden ale infused with gold, frankincense and myrrh. Presumably, it's drunk by wise men everywhere! |
| |
 A UK coffee company.
|

 Now I'm a chocolate lover from way back, but knowing that haggis "is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach," I declined to buy a block.
|
| |
 Apparently, this hotel is "The In-Place to Stay!"
Of course, just as I took the photo, some Aussie tourist walked by; don't you just hate that when that happens! |
| |
 Just the place for a man and a woman to get some fresh apple pie! What could possibly go wrong?
|
| |
 Yeah, like I want a haircut just like Larry, Curly, or Moe!
|
| |
 What was interesting here, was that the top two signs were either side of the bottom one. However, I don't think the establishment was currently run by the Salvos.
|
| |
 The sign on the restaurant awning says "The Crazy Bull" in Spanish, while the one in the window tells you the deal on offer.
|
| |
 Grassmarket is a major shopping street and area in Edinburgh, and apparently these two sheep found the grazing there quite good!
|
| |
 The name of this tea and coffee house is an interesting play on the name of the ship Cutty Sark, one of the last of the tea clippers.
|
| |
 I was in Edinburgh for its world-famous Fringe Festival, where outragious was the norm. In this poster, this "woman"—suposedly called Cally—was performing.
Her show was quite supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

 Anyone for a Caribbean cocktail?
