Everyone in Edinburgh was on the move.

Local KL put her tiny two-bedroomed flat overlooking Bruntsfield Links up for sale.

Then G and JG gave up their big family house in Devon for a flat in Marchmont. Their new place really didn’t have much to recommend it other than a huge, beautiful green and blue stained glass panel that hung in the kitchen opposite the fabulous fireplace. However, with both daughters now living away from home – one in Sheffield and the other in Chile – G and J had moved north for a better quality of life, and a higher standard of education for their young son under the superior Scottish school system.
