Dan Steele Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 In 1990 John Lithgow rented a property in Bo'ness when he was working on the filming of Macbeth at Blackness Castle.

Fullerene Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was drafted into the Vietnam War. He didn't like it apart from one local delicacy call Vib. Fortunatelly, the army liked it too. Brian loved it when they gave him some good Vib rations. In fact he wrote a song about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Elgin calls itself a "city" as part of a cunning plan by highlanders to trick lowlanders into thinking there's more of them than there really are Similarly Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ross County are actually the same people in different disguises The town of Dingwall doesn't actually exist, it's an obviously made up name 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
