The Meadows in Edinburgh - queues for the burger vans were not too long today
I arrived in Edinburgh earlier, the one-person advance party for our team of reporters who will be covering G8 and the associated protests in the Scottish capital from tomorrow.
It's fair to say there's some sense of foreboding here, especially among shop owners who have businesses in the centre of town. Chatting to a few, it's clear memories of the riots in Genoa in 2001 are fresh enough to cause concern.
Stephen Jardine, a columnist in tonight's Edinburgh Evening News, reflects that fear (reg required): "Walking around the capital feels like checking the battlements on the eve of a medieval siege."
