Oh dear! "Lang may your lum reek" is Broad Scots for " may your chimney keep
smoking" - or may you always have coal or peat to keep the fire burning.
Edinburgh - the capital of Scotland, and my home town - used to be locally
called "Auld Reekie" due to the amount of smoke that came out of the city's
chimneys - before someone invented smokeless fuel!!
