My nostalgic Smell Memory is of leather.My mind is going back to when I was a little lad going to Church Kirk about 1936. All the kids wore clogs at our school. When it was time to have new irons on the clogs I was sent by my Mum to a cloggers in Henry Street.There were great big sheets of leather hanging in roof of the shop.The smell of that leather has stayed with me all my life.Like when you got a new satchel for school, or if you got a new leather wallet.The lovely distinctive smell of leather first came to me in that cloggers shop all those years ago as I waited in the queue for new irons to be fitted to my clogs.
