My father was very proud of his Hutchy Rugby cap although
he was blind as a bat and played on the wing. He also
remembered John Buchan making a tremendous speech.
He started out to be a Minister at Glasgow but finished
up doing Medicine. I think he liked his time at school.
I have no idea where they are in Glasgow now.
