Gardners Crescent in the Fountainbridge area was home to the massed ranks of the city’s council gardeners. The city took great pride in its appearance and being a council gardener was a great honour. Today the gardeners have all been forced from their stylish Georgian villas thanks to council cuts but echoes of the past still remain. To this day the parking spaces in the crescent are significantly smaller than usual as they were designed to park those little sit on lawnmowers, not cars.

The most famous resident of the crescent was one Sean Connery who was a council gardener before he delivered milk or got his tackle out for art students to draw. Sean is the unofficial record holder of the largest milk round in the world as almost everyone over the age of 70 in Edinburgh claims to have had their milk delivered by James Bond.

Talking of James Bond, when Connery was first offered the role they name of the spy he was to play was still undecided so Sean was asked what his door number was, at the time Sean still resided at number 7 Gardners Crescent and he replied famously “ooooo 7?” and there it was, 007 was born. We’re just thankful he didn’t go “Ummmm 7?” or “eeeeeer 7?” and ER7 or UM7 might not have been so catchy.

I should be historic Edinburgh...

Nigella is a great chef / cook but here made some basic mistakes while preparing couscous :
1 . Couscous pot is to Cook the meat and sauce in the main body which steams the couscous above, but Nigella here uses a separate pot instead to cook the stew .
2 . You never cover the couscous with a lid .
I have been brought up on couscous and probably ate hundreds made by my Mama back in Algeria / North Africa so I felt I had to comment lol 😂
