Where the fires were was around the North and North East of Scotland. Coal man used to come round in a truck, filthy black from the coal, load up the bunkers. I remember it being very messy, sooty, but it was less smokey than the peat fires, though coal didn't smell as nice. There is something really nice about a real fire, though they're not clean. I doubt many of any of those houses have now, gas came along and there was a lot of change.
