just as everyone of a certain age claims they were regulars at the cavern so every scot has met connery. I came across him in charlotte square, he had come out of david murrays office, (owner of rangers at the time), he was assisting a young lady into a car, on the passenger side, something that was common back in the day, like holding doors open etc, but now rare, i made a pleasantry that i thought at the time was quite witty, but quickly regretted, he looked ashen faced and pretty stressed, trouble is everyone in scotland felt entitled to approach him, i also passed him in george st, he and his wife were doing the celebrity walk, which is looking into the sky as if greeting a landing spacecraft, celebs do this as they cannot afford to give eye contact, his wife , was wearing expensive tweeds, always the sign of a foreigner in Edinburgh. Biographical reminiscence part one.
