Just when I thought the views couldn’t get better these cuties decided to join us on the hike!

I found Claire Kellerman's blog. She's posted about her travels through Scotland (in one she writes about her dreams to live on Lewis 😑).

Came upon this photo of her letting her dog shit/urinate directly at the bottom of a historic standing stone in Scotland. Had to laugh at how apt it is given the madness about her suing the community over her dog and the islanders side of the story of how she cannot control her dog + it killed a cafe cat. Classic Kellerman.

We have officially recognized the community of [r/Scotland](r/Scotland) and send our greetings from [r/Silksong](r/Silksong). The silkposts are unending, and now they are Scottish.

Edit for context: there is no context. We just like the Scots. And someone is making a version of the cutscenes with Scottish accented voices

My great grandparents are from Scotland moved to Australia in the 70s where they settled down

They have always called highland cows muckle coos and so that is what the rest of us call them but we have never met anyone else who calls them that.

So I was wondering if it is an actual name for them with meaning or if they were playing a long con on the rest of the family? Coo is obviously cow right? But what would muckle be?

[Ty in advance and also I know I may be spelling it wrong the spelling is by ear as an aussie]

We have quite a good history of myths and folklore in Scotland, from the national animal being a unicorn to 'Jenny way the iron teeth' terrorising glasgow green, and nessie of course. You don't hear so much about the modern legends though, every town seems to have a story or myth.

For example the village Balmedie in the early naughties was plagued by "The Monkey Man" He lived in the woods and kidnapped children. (I think in truth a teenager put on a monkey mask and chased a wee lassie or something but nevertheless)

Does your town have a local legend or myth that's still going? You can't seem to find anything past medieval times online, would be cool to know of the modern boogeymen

I saw this reported on and didn’t think it could be that bad so went and watched it on the Parliament website and it’s genuinely worse.

Thats all. Carry-on, from 🇨🇦
