Adrian is a Blue Badge Guide for Scotland and enjoys interpreting the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh for visitors, plus many other fine ‘endroits eccosais’, which is odd, as he hated History at School. He also works in wine still and for the secretive fourth generation family company J Smith & Sons (Walters Ash) Ltd. He is Régent (general dogsbody) of the Commanderie de Bordeaux a Edimbourg, a branch of a Society devoted to the consumption and celebration of fine claret. He spends too much time on Facebook often commenting on comments by OSs Neil Davidson (Cobham 72) and Peter Naish (Bruce 72), and in dining clubs.
