Froglette called me earlier today, to let me know she had just landed safely on Inchkeith Island, where she, our son and their fellow shipmates were to spend the afternoon before returning to Burntisland. The trip was part of Scottish Archaeology Month.
Inchkeith has a and is now the property of Sir Tom Farmer. I mentioned this to a friend, who suggested that perhaps Froglette could have put up a few CATS posters while she was there. But why stop there? We could charter a boat and occupy the island!
In 1497, victims of the plague in Edinburgh were isolated on Inchkeith, so a witty headline for this occupation might be 'A plague upon your superstore, Sir Tom!'
Disclaimer - the foregoing message is intended as a joke. Portobello Online does not advocate the grossly irresponsible and certainly illegal occupation of territories belonging to Sir Tom Farmer, who would never knowingly threaten the livelihood of local traders, nor seek to undermine our community in the interest of profit.
