Red Faces
In an effort to brighten up Edinburgh Airport, airport bosses put Pablo Picasso's painting - Nude Woman in a Red Armchair - on display.
But then promptly withdrew the painting in a panic response following complaints from a number of passengers - whose identities remain a mystery.
Now I can take or leave some of Picasso's paintings - he can't do faces as Tony Hancock once famously said.
Scotland and Edinburgh were about to become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world - at this craven example of censorship.
Only to be rescued by a welcome change of heart by airport management - who have now put the painting back on display.
Talk about the Scottish 'cringe'.
