1958: HMSO Bookshop, Edinburgh

Three from Edinburgh: a well-dressed Scotsman checks the exchange rate between the bawbee and the pound; a very patriotic window display; Ronnie Kray gets involved in a 'Brief Encounter' in the doorway under the protective gaze of various Minders up from London on the annual haggis run for Burns Night at The Blind Beggar.  Jack 'The Hat' McVittie doesn't know what is coming to him.'
