I'm in my mid 30s and shouldn't actually care but it properly riled me.

Newbornbairn Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Buckhaven = Buckhind Buckhinders are a bit weird because they're all descended from the Dutch. Story goes that in the 1600s, a load of Dutch persecuted minorities hired a ship to take them to America. The Captain sailed the ship around the North Sea for a couple of weeks then dumped them all in Buckhaven saying "Welcome to the New World". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
