rolt968 Posted 15 March , 2019 Share Posted 15 March , 2019 If you go via the east coast you might look at the Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre: http://rafmontrose.org.uk/ But check the opening hours. RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 15 March , 2019 Share Posted 15 March , 2019 (edited) https://www.scotborders.gov.uk/directory_record/10701/coldstream_museum Museum dedicated to Coldstream and the Guards thereof, in the Scottish Borders (not to be confused with the Guards Museum in London). If you go there you'll be about 20 miles from Bemersyde (Haig's home) and Dryburgh Abbey (where he is buried).

It's Scotland: take a vest whenever you go. Unless you go in summer, which is always the nicest day of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second that. A quite incredible event, a sort of perfect storm - if you like? Fascinating anecdotes and some myths/legends about it abound...
