The Cauldron was a favourite lunchtime pint venue for the BofS guys at George IV Bridge branch at the top of Victoria St. IIRC the pub was owned & run by a woman, whose name totally escapes me.

I was there 64-70 so remember many of the worthies mentioned - Arneil, Stone, McPhee, MacPherson, McCheyne (!) etc. Alan McDonald taught me German before he succeeded Dewar (`The Dome`). I also had `Bouncer` Stott for English. He was the father of Ken Stott. Ah, memories!! (it was all male at that time sadly, and I also just missed out on the fun with Ms Hesp!) Miss Hesp was Dorothy Brown? The Biology teacher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
