Amazing talent and band with beautiful songs yes Stuart was the main man with his amazing writing talents but they all played their parts Bruce tony and mark. Up the big country very very underrated.❤
Nicely done. I thought Balmule House was bigger, but the gate is still there. Thanks for the trip at Stuarts places!!! Kind Regards from the Netherlands.
The house you were looking for while in the town centre wasn't near the Andrew Carnegie statue. It was opposite the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum. Old Kirk House. He also lived in a flat at Colton Court for a while. I lived in an adjacent block of flats at the time and we used to wave to each other every morning and evening as we drove in/out the street.
Serious question being the edgeman how come you have never visited the the edge in manchester cheetham hill were all awaiting your presence (edgeman visits edge pub in manchester ???)
Really enjoyed it. Stuarts house next to the Glen was near Carnegie's birthplace not his statue. You were close to it when you went past the abbey ruins playing angle park.
Theres a story. Not sure how true it is. When deciding on a name for the pub, the story goes that Stuart wanted to call it "Sandra's Legs", so that when they cut the ribbon to open it Stuart could say "I now declare Sandra's Legs are open!" 😆
Stuart Adamson is a Scottish legend brilliant song writer and musician 🏴🏴
Thanks for the insight on Stuart's home town, loved the man and his music.....👌

Thanks for the memories mate, great video 😊
hope you had a nice stay. there is also Stuart Adamson Crescent in Crossgates just to the East of Dunfermline
@gsw007 Didn't know about that Wish I did. Would have gone
If you’d gone round the corner from Tappies to the library then you’d have seen Stuarts guitar on display.
I wished I had known that then....
Did Stuart and his family lived upstairs of the pub? I heard it caught on fire and they were able to get out before the fumes overcame them.
Adjacent to the Coach House at Balmule is where the photo for the cover of Look Away was taken 👍🏻
The lights you see were from balmule..sandra told me when was in the pub great memory
Nicely made vid.................SHABBA!!!!!!!
My father made those gates he was a blacksmith in Dunfermline.
That is Mint, a great job..
Well done the edgeman

Edgeman good stuff with the songs but you cannot sing in tune.. but fair play for the tour.. of a genius..

I can't imagine him being so disrespectful. That wasn't him.
I remember Stuart serving in Tappies. Total gent
