when i was a wee lassie my nana had a caravan at seton sands and every given holiday we were down seton way, i remember the town of prestonpans having little triangle flags strewn up on lamposts end of summer, i mind seeing a pub called the jaggy thistle not sure if that was musselburgh or prestonpans, but always fancied a pint in it when i grew up, i've grown up and never did that if it still exists, prestonpans would celebrate this back then, i havnt been able to go back as an adult to see if they still do. and i miss seton way so much

Battle of Prestonpans 1 second ago That's touched on briefly in our other video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnaZiYR7mbSGecU . Once we're able to get out and about a bit more, we make a Jaco-Bit specifically about the burials and what we do and don't know.
