It's a pity they couldn't just squeeze the statement of 'There's been a whale's jawbone on this spot since 1709' onto the plaque afixed to the fence which simply states that the replica was placed there in 2008. Perhaps then I would have thought 'Oh, it's tradition' rather than 'Why?'.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694505809435969577.post-26855701190664110452014-02-20T16:33:27.505+00:002014-02-20T16:33:27.505+00:00I've duly clarified the 'cup of tea and ca...I've duly clarified the 'cup of tea and cake' statement.<br /><br />Knock of Braemoray looks a lovely little pimple.

A jawbone has stood there since 1709, the last one having been there since 1933.<br />On 26 June 2008, a fibreglass replica whale bone, the same size as the one that was removed in 2005, was airlifted into place to give North Berwick Law back its famous landmark.[2] The funding for the replica was donated by an anonymous friend of North Berwick.<br /><br />The above is from Wikipedia.

I have a little pimple of my own in mind to tick, having driven and walked passed it too many times to count, the Knock of Braemoray.
