Beatling back

KEN McNab's affectionate compilation of the Fab Four's visits north of the Border, entitled The Beatles In Scotland, has just come out in paperback.

In it he tells of the Beatles playing the Glasgow Odeon in 1963. He quotes police officer Irene Livingstone, who was detailed on crowd control as there were thousands of screaming fans outside, but who nipped inside to see what all the fuss was about. Says Irene: "I bumped into somebody, and the gentleman turned round and said, 'Irene, if you stand in front of me you'll get a better view.' It was the Chief Constable James Robertson.
