Oddly enough.......... two summers ago (early September) I was fishing off a jetty with my son in Scapa when we were joined by this well dresssed man who had parked his big posh merc near my car. We got chatting and fishing, he was asking me about life up here and what my job was, I told him and asked him. He was a barrister. He was up here examining evidence and taking new statements about the Michael Ross case for a prosecution case later in the year. But he was mostly working on the Lockerbie bombers' appeal and had been for quite a while. He told me that there was much evidence and lots of concealed evidence that convinced him and his team that the bomber was the "fall guy". He was talking about big bribes paid to people to alter their stories and the involvement of the CIA. We chatted and fished. Time passed as it does. He told me that just the money he had made so far from the Lockerbie case was well into 6 figures. He was sure that the appeal would be heard and freedom granted. I never saw him again.
