Oh! To be in Scotland

It's official now. Elvis Presley is the descendant of blacksmith Andrew Presley who lived 300 years ago in the Aberdeenshire village of Lonmay, Scotland. Scotland was the only piece of British soil that Elvis ever walked on. In March 1960, he made a two-hour stopover at Glasgow's Prestwick Airport when returning home after he served with the U.S. army in Germany.

Fans still pay homage at the airport to their hero. Now they can take in Lonmay too, on a new Elvis pilgrimage route.
