IQ2: Did you write about Blackie Duquesne?

[Elendil_s_Heir]

That’s an overstatement about “the Scots” as a whole, I think, Knowed Out. And while some Scots might not like Elizabeth I for her role in Mary’s execution, they don’t deny that she was Queen of England. And see: MacCormick v Lord Advocate - Wikipedia

E E Cummings. (Yes, you were correct.)
E E Smith.

FWIW, the guide did say the Scots use a slightly different postal code than the rest of the UK. The “RE2” part (reign of Elizabeth II) is just “RE” for them.

She was an English guide, so maybe that’s the Brit perspective, but grudges can last for centuries.
