Oddities

Or 'One boat short of a flotilla', as I believe the technical term is.

[Lucky Poet]

I think it's Korean War vintage (the mantelpiece job that is), but the point stands.

Oh, and I very much wonder what the story behind that flag is. Curious.

[Josef]

Yeah, it looks quite Union Flag-ish, but not in that era presumably, unless the Union Flag predated the Union of Parliaments?

[Lucky Poet]

The design did, by a clear hundred years, but very odd if the late 17th C is indeed accurate. A big mad pre-Union Whig with a chisel, back in the day? Hmmm.

[Lucky Poet]

I've only been to Cupar twice, and driving both times , so I couldn't comment Jock

I got a nice bit of non-fiction from the bookshop up the wynd with the garden centre and coffee shop though.

..and a wee casual second coming of christ to boot.

It's all happenin' in Cupar...

Worked there a year. Good boozers and a tolerable fife accent. There is some guy called Ken there who everyone seems to know.
