OK 55 is the number of years in an emerald anniversary but what denotes a 90th anniversary (if one were to live long enough) ?

I suspect this is rather made up but let's see.

Clue as its a sh*t question thinking about it: it's linked to a city in Scotland.

Yep but surely made up for the sake of it.

i think it is charming and romantic. call me a great softie but i like things like that.

okay which nursery rhyme character was originally a female tramp before being sanitized into the familiar modern version?

Little Miss Muffet ?

neither of those two. it actually makes sense for a vagrant to have taken the role in the story
