The silly season's come slightly early, what with today being
sunny and all, so for a change we bring you the momentous story from
the Aberdeen Independent of how a dog kicked off a mountain
rescue...
Apparently the mountaineering mutt - who'd probably seen too much
Rockface - took a tumble down a gully on Lochnagar, which
coincidentally was Queen Victoria's favourite mountain.
Members of the Lochnagar rescue team were training in the area at
the time and were reportedly called in to rescue the unhappy hound.
However the dog was discovered with a broken leg before they managed
to reach him.
Now that's what we call and inconsequential Monday morning
