During a break from the Abbey Road sessions in June 1969, John Lennon took his family to Scotland to visit his aunt in Durness, where he had spent joyful summer days as a child. On July 1st, he crashed his car on the narrow village roads, resulting in a period of hospitalization for himself and his family: Lennon was treated with 14 facial stitches, his wife Yoko received 14 stitches, and their daughter Kyoko received four. Lennon remained in hospital for five days. He later told reporters, 'If you’re going to have a car crash, try to arrange for it to happen in the Highlands. The hospital there was just great.'
