Carnegie noted in last week's Dunfermline Press that one hundred years ago Fifers were preparing for a visit to Dunfermline by then British Liberal Prime Minister, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.
Strange how thing's turn out: 100 years later the current Liberal Democrat and Fife MP Sir Menzies Campbell resigns, and a visit to Fife by a British Prime Minister doesn't have much of a novelty given that we have a Fife MP as Prime Minister, namely Mr Gordon Brown.
Carnegie wasn't around at the time to bump into Mr Campbell-Bannerman. He was too busy making his fortune in the States.
