It now looks rather dandy and the new decor is a cross between a traditional Edinburgh howf and a quirky modern bar. |
When I met Barbara, she was about 15, singing at the Howf in Dunfermline. |
Those who frequented this howf, being generally elderly men, have now nearly all departed. |
I can imagine old merchant navy guys enjoying one last dark rum in this wee howf before boarding ship at the nearby docks. |
Their families can hardly afford food or rent, so howF can they afford clothes? |
As usual in this back-street howf, any scintilla of knowledge outside horse-racing is greeted with derision. |
