Mathematicians discovered in 2007 that 29 is simultaneously both prime and non prime.

They've been trying to cover it up so they can safely ignore it for almost a decade

and apparently -29 is now recognised as sub-prime.

Popular rock group The 1975, are well known for their love of Scottish football. So much so that they named their band after the final year of the 18 teamed league of Division one.

It is possible to travel from Bo'ness to Methil through an interconnected coal mine network extending beneath the Forth and Fife (now mostly flooded).

Nobody has yet completed in one go, although a German cave diver holds the single journey record from Methil to Hill of Beath.

Jimi Hendrix was born in Kirkcaldy but decided he needed to sex up his pale ginger image so he changes his name from Jimmy Hendry, died his lank ginger locks (inc a curly perm), blacked up & put on an American accent, then flitted down to London to seek his fame & fortune.

His relatives were so ashamed of him that they have never revealed this fact, that's why to this day the statue of Jocky Wilson stands alone in the town.

You forgot to mention that Jimmy and Jocky were second cousins, Kirkcaldbo.

The cousins did meet up in London during the 1980s. After Jocky's legendary performance on Top of the pops with Dexys Midnight Runners, Jimmy met him in the BBC Green Room lounge and they spent the evening speaking about East Fife and Raith Rovers.
