Can I have a 'P' please Bob - Scotland

[Sgurr]

I was just off to my bed when the Selkirk Grace popped into my head, I can't find anything about number 2 but there are 2 versions, one in Lallans (Lowland Scots) and one in English.

Brilliant...but wrong. Maybe I should tell you that when I said rockhopper was in the right( large) ballpark I meant that his answer was in the political sphere, as is the correct answer. Just not that bit of the political sphere.

Oh good, I can stop looking at routes for the No 2 bus, footballers with the no 2 jersey and novels that feature a house/building with the number 2. I couldn't sleep last night so that kept me entertained but I am away for a good coastal walk now.

If it wasn't for 2 SG would be in a different place

The Saatchi Gallery at Modern Two.

[Sgurr]

SG is a person

This thread has been quiet for a few days, no doubt everyone is silently head scratching, so for no particular reason I'll try Samuel Greig, the Fifer who became a Russian Admiral as did his son Alexey Greig.

[Sgurr]

Sorry Tinto not him.Have been away

This is a living politician.

[Tinto63]

Stephen Gethins - majority of 2

[Sgurr]

Stephen Gethins - majority of 2

Correct. &, half the voters in NE Fife think it was them plus partner.

[Tinto63]

Thanks Sgurr, I got there in the end.....

Try this one: GE - a kind and calm person comes in.

[Tinto63]

No takers so far, time for a clue:- close to the Seat of Power.

[Sgurr]

George Elphinstone?

Gentle's Entry, Edinburgh?

[Tinto63]

Gentle's Entry, Edinburgh?

Correct, well done, over to you.

[rohan]

Thanks, Tinto. I had a mind that it was an entrance of some sort but credit then goes to Mr (or Mrs) Google.
Sgurr's recent clue is the inspiration for this one.
No. 1 was home to JE but more recently, in a sense, No. 2 housed JE
