I really love the Alexander McCall Smith books as there is so much African and Scottish information. Just read about this and had to look into an old Scottish song ‘The Parting Glass.’

Thank you for the added information. I made a document for favorite music and added this piece. His books may be fiction but there is a ton of real information in them. He is a professor of medical law and there are some interesting points he brings up. We visited Edinburgh for several days in 1989. I wish I had known then what I know now about that city. It would be fun to go back and do a little exploring.
@JackPedigo I haven’t been back home to Edinburgh for some years now, maybe I’ll try to visit in 2023!
I just watched it again and picked up a funny bit I had missed. When they said 'A man may drink' one of the characters shoved a whisky bottle out of sight. @ 2.08
