Dear readers, after some serious field research by your dutiful Woolamaloo Gazette editor I have found hard evidence that Tolkien's Kingdom of Gondor was once on the spot where Edinburgh now sits. Which is why, braving snowstorms, I found the White Tree of Gondor in the West End of Edinburgh and reproduce here for you the visual evidence. I only hope the current alleged heir to the Stewart throne, the so-called Prince Micahel Stewart of Albany, supposedly a descendant of Bonnie Prince Charlie, doesn't see this as a sign that it's time for the Return of the King. Coz he's a wee short Belgian bloke and that wouldn't be quite the same as Aragorn for a monarch now, would it?
