@@maxi2449 I often wonder where we all ended up? We all settled in the wigan area. Kevin was a fireman for 30 years and I served as a police officer in Manchester. John still drives for a security company and Cathy works in a care home. Sorry to learn that your dad passed away recently Our parents have both passed on. Dad 20 years ago and mum 4. That must have been a great buzz to serve with the Royal Scots.

@@maxi2449 So sorry to hear of Maxi's passing...he was a good friend of mine during his tenure with the KOSB. My deepest sympathy.

Eh, this tattoo is really fun. I’m a teen and I like Edinburgh tattoos very much. I would like to ask, how do you request this DVD from bbc archives? Also your father Maxie McDonald really inspired me to play with Drum Major maces. I wish I can be your father one day doing the Mace Thing.

Got any more of this tattoo?
