RULE CHANGE MAY BROADEN MEMBERSHIP OF MORAY’S ‘FAVOURED FEW’
March 2024. A pleasant spring afternoon in Moray Place. A hint of peat smoke in the air. The vaguest scent of sewage drifting from the Water of Leith below.
I wait outwith a southern entrance to the central garden to meet a man I know only as ‘The Convenor’. He is an office bearer in one of Edinburgh’s oldest and most exclusive private discutentative associations: the Quinquaginta Club.
