HE was at the the peak of his fame and The Beatles were breaking up. So Sir Paul McCartney retreated to High Park Farm on Kintyre and on Friday the legend will mark the 50th anniversary of the iconic album he wrote at his Scottish hideaway. To celebrate RAM turning golden, Paul and Linda McCartney’s 1971 masterpiece will be reissued as a limited edition, vinyl pressing via UMe. Sir Paul has said: “Going up to Scotland was real freedom. It was an escape – our means of finding a new direction in life and having time to think about what we really wanted to do.”
