@LordWoolamaloo apparently James VI on his journey south to collect his new crown in 1603 remarked it was a gey shoogly bridge to be joining the two countries and ordered it to be improved.

@peterbrown On a related note, publisher's rep in our bookstore recently, going over orders for forthcoming releases. This will interest you, a new book on James I, he tells us.
Is that the actual James I, or James VI & I, because there are many years between them?We had to explain the difference. He laughed and said ok, you can tell I went through the English education system... 😋
