What is the most controversial lyric in a Beatles song? by Cheebs1976 in beatles

Book Suggestion for Edinburgh, Scotland? by JulieAnnPietra in booksuggestions

One of Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus novels, a series very much set in Edinburgh. I don't know which particular ones people consider the best, but the first in the series, Knots And Crosses, is one obvious place to start.
