Bill went to St Andrews to spend some time with Ian. This is the church where his mum and dad were married.
On one of the days he went with Graham to the Royal Yacht Britannia, permanently moored at Leith Docks now.
As well, he went the People's Story Museum dealing with the living and working conditions of the ordinary people in Edinburgh.
