With some wonderful help from these lists I now know that in the 1928/9 Post Office Directory for Edinburgh there is a W M Borthwick, Coach Proprietor, 25 Princes St. Could listers advise please ....would there be any other source of information about this person and/or the coach business? Were there records of coaches and their "runs" ? Did people require licenses to run a coach business? Any advice would be appreciated.
