Scotland




And so for The NY Times to Edinburgh and on with journalist Abigail Saltmarsh to Fenton Tower, an East Lothian castle destroyed by Cromwell in 1650. Ian Simpson and John Macaskill realised their childhood dream of rebuilding it in 2002.
Then to Leith's harbourside, to The Shore, a gastro pub long before the word was invented, to meet fisheries expert and long time friend Crick Carleton for good conversation and fresh fish beautifully cooked - nothing better.
