Sam Martinez is something of a local celebrity in Wester Hailes. He came to Scotland from Belize in 1941, recruited as a lumberjack to help in the war effort. Martinez met his wife at a dance in Leith and they have been married for fifty years. He has returned to his homeland only once since settling in Scotland. Find out more about the life of
