The Naming of the Dead

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

There is no Clootie Well in Auchterarder. However, the one on the Black Isle is worth a visit, if you like your tourist attractions on the skin-crawling side.

There is also no Ram’s Head in Coldstream, though a decent steak pie can be had at the Besom public house.

My thanks to Dave Henderson for the extended loan of his photographic archive, and to Jonathan Emmans for the introduction.

Rebus’s joke about Basque separatists is “borrowed” (with permission) from Peter Ross of the Sunday Herald newspaper.
