No, that wasn’t a reference to Haddington, though it was a bit on the tough side.  The reference was to the Devil O’ the Highlands, the 43 miler Ian Rowland did on Saturday, starting at 6:00 am at Tyndrum, heading to Fort William.  Ian came 8th out of 96 finishers with a time of 6:39:11.  So Ian was well finished by the time the runners were setting off for the Haddington…
