DIGGING INTO THE PAST with Dr Murray Cook

Sunday last week was of course Father's Day and I was delighted to get some chocolates and a cardbut even better was the offer of a pint!

My afternoon was spent giving a tour of the Old Town Cemetery to the public then we hit the town.

As you may know I do this two or three times a year (the cemetery not the pub). The cemetery really is amazing and tells Scotland's story from the Wars of Independence to the end of Empire in the 1960s.
