‘In the Veyatie burn a man
hooks a trout. It starts rampaging.

And I’m in Edinburgh.

Or so I say.
How easy to be
two men at once.

One smiling and drinking coffee in Leamington Terrace, Edinburgh.

The other cutting the pack of memories
and turning up ace after ace after ace.’

Two Men at Once’ in Voice-Over
Norman MacCaig

    From what little I see of the water it looks like the kind of burn that’d house a slightly larger trout – perhaps with charming red spots. Would like to have seen a picture of a fish like that.

    You’re not the only one sir..

    ‘Slightly larger’ seems a bit harsh though. It were a whopper!
