Although there will be no offical companions' programme for EPAC'06 there are a large number of interesting tours and visits available during the conference, many of which can be accessed from this website. See, for example, the pages on Edinburgh, local tourism and Rosslyn Chapel.

There will also be a "meet and greet" session held at EICC at 10:30 on the first morning of the conference (Monday 26^th June) where companions can meet informally. This will be attended by staff from the local tourist information office, who will be happy to advise on suitable sightseeing opportunities.

"So this is your Scotland. It is rather nice, but dampish and northern and one shrinks a trifle inside one’s skin. For these countries one should be amphibian."
