I got "skincare for men."
Though I've read the book, and Princes Street is a big clue, I wasn't sure of
the source. Look up "Orange Walk" and you'll find parade and march being used
synonymously. The Order, says Wikipedia, "prefers terms such as walk or
demonstration." No indication why. It is called "the marching season."
