Edinburgh man Wullie McTavish is on his deathbed, knows the end is near, is with the nurse, his wife,

his daughter and 2 sons.

"So", he says to them: "Bernie, I want you to take the Braid Hills houses."
"Sybil, take the flats over in Morningside and Bruntsfield."
"Tam, I want you to take the offices in Charlotte Square ."
"Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings in the New Town."

The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Wullie slips away, she says, "Mrs. McTavish, your

husband must have been such a hard working man to have accumulated all this property".
