Immediately, all was confusion. People ran from their shops; drivers left their lorries; walkers turned in their steps, and all ran up Bruntsfield Place. Then came the Fire Engines, drawn by magnificent bays, their ears well back and at full gallop. The brass helmets of the men shone in the sun and they clanged their bells. My aunt was a dear, kindly woman, but a wee bit sanctimonious. Looking down at me, she said - "I sometimes think that this is what it will be like at the last day", and the mantle of prophecy falling on her shoulders she went on, "There will be smoke and a great noise and confusion. The bells will ring and all the people will be running". Even as a small boy I thought auntie had got things wrong, somewhere, "for", I argued to myself, "at the last day, surely the people won't be running TO the fire"." -- Andrew Patterson recalling the years c.1900-10, lecture to The Old Edinburgh Club, 1966
