Pictish tunnels under Rutherglen

A old story goes that “wee Pechs” (Picts) from Rutherglen built Glasgow Cathedral using tunnel network under the Clyde to get to work. A piper and his dog tried to find the route but never came back. His pipes were last heard under Dalmarnock.

Letham Time-slip

After her car went off the road in Jan 1950, Miss E.F. Smith (55yo) and her dog walked home from Brechin to Letham. She claimed to have experienced a time-slip of 1265 years and walked onto the site of the Battle of Nechtanesmere and saw Picts and Saxons fight.

And because the details matter and I needed to know: The time-travelling dog was a miniature poodle.

Somebody write a screenplay, stat.

The story was covered in excellent detail by Richard MacLean Smith in his podcast “Unexplained” (link to that episode)
