A church without a steeple

Inveraray Church doesn’t have a steeple because someone stole it. Dismantled and stored as a precaution during WW2, the carefully numbered blocks were gone when it came time to rebuild. Only 2 blocks were ever found.

On a dark night in February 1813, a Dunblane man was stealing from his neighbour’s garden when he tripped on the cat and fell down a well. The neighbour heard his screams and got a ladder. The thief ran off leaving 19 heads of cabbage down the well.
