Reminds me of the English football commentator who grew up thinking there was a team called 'Partick Thistle Nil'.  

Isn’t that what a lot of their (long suffering) followers* call them?

Don’t knock the Jags! I don’t know about now, but they certainly used to live up to the slogan ‘Firhill for thrills’. You were never quite sure what you were going to see, but it certainly wouldn’t be boring.

Pulling us gently back to the Strathmore line. Between Alyth Junction and Eassie there was a set of sidings known as Drumkilbo. They were used for, amongst other things, bringing manure from Dundee for use on the fields round about. Access to the sidings was down a track known to this day as the Dung Ley. There is no sign of them now but only a few years ago a culvert/bridge for the siding, separate from the mainline, was visible. The siding swung into a field and ended 90 degrees from the mainline. After a period of dry weather (so not very often) the scar of the siding can sometimes be seen.  This PW hut is still in place nearby;
