In the 1670s Gallovidian, Jock Mulldroch of Craigwaggie was understood to “cackle as he laid eggs, bigger than a goose’s, on a truff laft amang a wheen breckans”. The eggs were black-speckled yellow. He was known as “Craigwaggie’s meikle chuckie”.
I definitely need to say more on this later, it’s such a bizarre folk tale.So many other bizarre details. Eggs took a fortnight to lay. His sons hatched from his eggs that were placed under his wife’s actual chicken.
I haven’t even found where Craigwaggie was, if it was a real place at all.
