Our tour of Norrona
On Tuesday 4th December, Margaret, Bill, Elma and I were invited by the ferry company Smyril Line for a tour of their ship “Norrona” berthed at Leith’s Ocean terminal – home to the Royal Yacht Britannia – while around 1,000 passengers from the Faroe Islands descended on Edinburgh for a one day Christmas shopping spree. 
When boarding “Norrona” we passed groups of young Faroese who quite clearly had begun celebrating Christmas early and were full of Christmas spirit…here in Scotland we prefer to call it alcohol! Nonetheless, they were obviously intent on having a good time and apparently had wiped out the ship’s supply of local currency – cheers!
