THE DELISHYOSS DETOUR
Charlie Ellis enjoys some Broughton byways
My walk from Stockbridge toward Leith began not by the river but on a tangent: a gentle wander along Heriot Row and past the Scotland Street Little Library, a charming, if chronologically confusing, trove containing the latest Spurtle alongside ‘vintage’ issues from early 2012.
Continuing along East Claremont Street, the morning’s rhythm broke only when a hearse emerged from Claremont Crescent: a sharp, unexpected moment of reflection.
