I was thinking "I'm a Scot from north of the Highland Line" . . .  :)

And, while the rain was heavy is was fair douce so I did not contract a 
chill;
after all, it was September, not January.

What I had overlooked was, that while I may be a Scot from north of the 
Highland
Line, many years in Arabia, the North American Colonies, and the Levant have
thinned my blood.

Next time I am in Edinburgh at the end of August I shall make sure I 
wear a thicker
tweed jacket and have a tammy handy! A raincoat; heaven forfend!
