Hedgecutter Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Magic water discovered in Moray! http://www.northern-scot.co.uk/Features/People-and-Places/Liquid-gold-discovered-in-Burghead-14022014 Liquid Gold Discovered In Burghead THEY may not have struck oil, but a team of Moray ‘diggers’ have found liquid gold in their village at the site of an ancient water well. Legend has it that anyone drinking water from the St Aethan’s Well, in Burghead, gained special healing powers, or at the very least a swift cure for a hangover. Possibly dating back to Pictish times, the well disappeared off the map more than 50 years ago, and for recent generations became nothing more than a history tale of mystery and magic. But thanks to the efforts of determined villagers, it has been rediscovered, repaired and had its water supply replenished, to bring a new tourist attraction to Burghead...

Carer Jacqui, whose favourite Bhoy is Gary Hooper I wonder if she actually knows he's no longer at Celtic. And, despite Paul Hartley’s arrival making it two ex-Parkhead players in Dundee dugouts, both were adamant they won’t be making a more local matchday trip any time soon. Well there's a shock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) "Tesco to start selling overpriced doughnuts. Doughnut giants Krispy Kreme got Facebook in a flap after it posted a picture teasing its move into Perth. The official Krispy Kreme UK page posted a photo of an “OMG! Coming Soon” banner and asked: “Have you spotted this in Perth?” It added that the delicious treats would be in the Tesco Extra store in the city soon, although no date was given. The post by the company has been shared over 300 times, and got over 100 comments from excited doughnut lovers. http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/news/local/krispy-kreme-announces-it-s-coming-to-perth-1.231498 Edited February 20, 2014 by The Master 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
