apart from local Georgian history mine is too...our town was built mid 18th century so I know a lot of local history but that's about it for the Georgian period.

Sometimes I couldn't get the right time connection and had to go to Edinburgh...I know I can get to Glasgow central, then Queen St onto Stirling...but Mr Hoochie and Hoochie pick me up to go to the flat and if he's working I have to go Edinburgh - Stirling because of the train times
