Five men from different parts of the country each chose to go on a winter-sports holiday in a different area (one went to the Swiss Alps). Whilst skiing there, each had an accident in which he suffered a fracture of a different part of his anatomy.<\/p>\n

From the clues given below, can you work out who lives in which town, where he went for his holiday and what he broke?<\/p>\n

\"Puzzle<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One man broke his collarbone in the Austrian Alps.<\/li>\n
  2. The man from Stirling did not break an arm; he is not Gerry, who did not break a leg.<\/li>\n
  3. Roger did not spend his holiday in the Cairngorms.<\/li>\n
  4. Bob’s hometown is Aberdeen; he did not break his collarbone during his holiday.<\/li>\n
  5. Michael is not from Glasgow; his skiing holiday came to an abrupt conclusion when he fell and broke his right arm.<\/li>\n
  6. The man from\u00a0Edinburgh went to the Italian Alps for his winter holiday.<\/li>\n
  7. Donald was the man who spent his holiday in the French Alps; his injury was not to the left side of his body.<\/li>\n
  8. The man who broke his left leg was from Busby.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
