Where was Brian & what was he doing whilst writing The Viaduct?

Was going to say at his desk typing, but I'll go with hang-gliding in the Pentland Hills.

Well, he was at his desk, but. . . . . .

Scotland is the only other info I could have a guess at? After that I haven't a clue.

At his desk typing away watching the sunset over the Medeteranean from his hotel suite on some Greek island

A clue? . . . . .

1974

in the army? wild guess of course!!!

He was, any more info?

In Germany?

Nope.

bit closer to home

The Isle of Wight

Almost there Kenny, about. . . . 60 mi off though.

At home in Torquay.

Chichester is about 60 miles from The Isle. That is where the RMPTC is where Brian was an instructor (Drill Pig then Sgt Major)

I may of got the distance wrong, i AM from Australia.lol

Another 40 or so north.(i think)

Incidentally,(ornot) there is a 'Keogh barracks' nearby.

He was sent there for a course whilst Quartermaster at Edinburgh.

Redford Barracks?

I may of steered you off course.

Although it was Edinburgh, he was sent a fair way off.

South

That was a toughy, needed a big clue, will be back later with a question.
