Abstract: This book is packed with stories about strange and extraordinary things, from the mysterious lums (chimneys) near Tomintoul to the Aberdeen restaurant that came to be known as "the Monkey House". There are intriguing tales of a bird that wrote a book about the Indian mutiny, the Queen's dwarf who jumped out of a pie, and the Soos (airships) that operated from Buchan during the First World War.
