Ian Elliot was only planning on coming home to Edinburgh for a few days.
Just long enough to get his father off his back.
Lord Elliot is a member of the Scottish Parliament, the likely next minister of health, fanatically dedicated to the pursuit of an independent Scotland with an independent coinage, and deeply disappointed in his son's life choices.
Which might explain why Ian lives in Brussels, where he works for the European Union as a banker.
Or it might not.
Ian was a gifted artis.
