Not really gardening but although I am not a gnome fan, I thought some of you might get a kick out of this. :)


A remote outcrop in Scotland is covered with garden gnomes but nobody knows exactly how they got there.

The gnomes beam their mischief from the rock of Swallow Craig which sits just off Inchcolm Island in the Firth of Forth.

The gnomes first appeared there in 2010, with some people speculating they were left by a local fisherman.

But one local legend muses the gnomes escaped from a local garden centre attempting to flee up the Forth under the cover of night.

Another myth speculates that they were shipwrecked, and have spent the last 14 years on the island.

The population is always growing and the isle has since been dubbed Inch Gnome Island.
