Headed off to chase Toni's misspent childhood travelling the world with her folks. First off Dunfirmline, where Kerri was born; quite a nice place with a brilliant park, churches, abbey and castle. Couldn't find the right hospital as they are all obviously more modern than 50 years.

Next to Cowdenbeath - Church Road near the pit gates - still there and when a lady parked us in- funny Ross didn't call her a lady - of course until he chatted to her - then it turns out her daughter lives in the flat next to the one Toni's family lived in 52 years ago. So we got the goss and she invited us to have a look down the backyard. Cowdenbeath is much smaller than Dunfermline and a lot tougher - can't imagine how hard it was all those years ago. Found the Glen that mum and I used to walk too - the only thing I remember of those days - vaguely anyway.

Time to cheer Ross up so we headed to St Andrews - and you wouldn't pick it but the course is open to the public on Sundays - so off we went walking around the course - the road hole, super deep sand traps and special bridges - Ross was beside himself and even had to try the grass on the 18th hole - the verdict - sweet. A lovely town with a university, abbey and castle ruins - very picturesque beaches and surrounds.

The next day was a trip into Edinburgh again and a wander around Grey friars - anyone in their 50s would remember Greyfriars Bobby - the Disney tear jerker that reduced our household to copious amounts of flood works every time. Fabulous cemetery and rubbed Bobby's nose as well - they must have filmed in the area because it was just like the movie.

Just up the road is the Elephant Cafe where JK Rowling wrote Harry Potter for coffee and then back to the Royal Mile to checkout the oldest houses in Edinburgh.

Out to tea to the Kings Wark  in Leith, within a 5 minute walk of our flat. Seafood soup for Toni and Scottish Angus for Ross.
