I loved Edinburgh in all its guises.
Actually at the time if I got tired of it or ran out of cash I could take refuge with my parents near Dunfermline. Another piece of luck in an undeserving life.
I've got this photo up, taken outside Buckingham Palace when the old man got his modest gong. I've got the gong too. He's in full Moss Bros morning dress with top hat, mother looks a bit guarded, I look like a dissolute spiv, sister looks a bit disapproving.
