"When I joined the Marines they took my brain out and, when I left, they didn't give it back" joked an ex-Royal marine officer who had fought in the Falklands when I asked him why he decided to buy an Inn. Seven weary men made our way through the quaint village of Aberlady, collapsed onto wooden benches outside the white-walled Kilspindie House after a day of travel and club swinging, and are now beguiled by a wispy grey beard ruffling in the sea breeze.
