== Early life ==
Hamish was born in 1999 and was initially owned by Marianne Baird, a retired BBCproducer, with whom he lived during his first year. During this time he became increasingly nomadic, often spending days away from home, being fed and watered at various homes in the town. He was known to spend most of his time in and around the houses and businesses on South Street, St Andrews, close to his original home.
Throughout Hamish's life, Ms. Baird cared for his well-being by ensuring he attended a veterinary surgeon every year for a health check and vaccinations.
