October 25 in Scottish History

On this day in 1960 Elvis Presley touched down at Prestwick airport, his only visit to Scotland. He spent an hour at the airport on his way home to be demobbed from the army. This was the only time The King set foot on British soil. He was surrounded by ecstatic teenagers as he reputedly asked, 'Where Am I?' Despite huge worldwide fame, he never toured the globe to feel the adulation of his millions of fans. There were rumours that one of the reasons for him staying in the United States was the residency status of his manager "Colonel" Tom Parker. Parker was reputed to be an illegal alien and feared being unable to re-enter America if he left the country.
