I've only ever had one go-around in my life and it was also EDI. Last year sometime. After turning left past the Pentlands we picked up a tailwind and were too fast. Go-around route was over Fife towards St. Andrews, unlike the route taken by the OP.

Your best recent tweet has to be 26th March:
"20 years ago today, on a sunny day in Broughty Ferry, I turned to the most beautiful woman in the world and said "Sod it, let's get married!". Yes it was reckless but I've never once regretted it. Even though the woman said no and asked me to go and sit somewhere else on the bus."

Ah, @BobServant. my post and I are honoured to have been noted!

For one thing, he would never admit to anything that could imply he had been in, or was travelling to Fife...

Had one coming into EDI last year, as I had posted elsewhere wasn't helped by a nervous sounding FO announcing he had just aborted landing in Glasgow.
Felt we weren't right coming over the railway and the power duly kicked in.
Upon landing at the second attempt a rather less flusted sounding captain came on to announce we had indeed landed in Edinburgh.
As the photo shows it was a tad more murkey on this day.
