Farewell to an old Friend, James MacArthur
One of Monarchs House’s most frequent and loved guests was James MacArthur. Sorrowfully, Jim passed away yesterday, October 28, 2010. Jim was best known by the public as Danny “Danno” Williams of the hit television show, Hawaii Five-O. The catchphrase ‘book him, Danno” said by Steve McGarrett, played by Jack Lord, became part of popular culture during the 70s.

On Wednesday morning when I arrived in Scotland’s Edinburgh Airport slightly knackered from my overnight 2-legged journey, I privately sighed. I was now back in a country that I not so privately love. I don’t want you to get the wrong impression, I love America too. But if America owns my heart, for some reason, and one I can’t truly articulate, Scotland owns my soul.
