Deep
in the heart of the Highlands, on the shores of the mighty Loch
Lachart, you'll find Glen Lachart - the sleepy Scottish village whose
everyday antics once drew the attention of what seemed at the time like
the entire world!
When we first launched our wee
community website back in 1999 we didn't know what to expect, but we
didn't in all honesty expect very much. Within weeks,
however, it was clear our unique way of life appealed to a lot of
people, and we soon found ourselves on radio, television, and in
the newspapers and it wasn't long before there were more tourists than
locals walking the village street!
To this day we have no idea how it all happened.
Nevertheless,
for about the ninth time in just two years, we're back with an entirely
new web incarnation, ready to do it all again!

Local
shop assistant, "Wee" Paul Whiteman's luck took a turn for the
worse this month, when he unexpectedly found himself abducted by an "evil
alien race", dedicated to the total destruction of the planet Earth!
Or,
at least, so believes one local woman. |

Following
the tragic death of her husband George just over two months ago, Mary
Macmillan was struck yet another devastating blow yesterday, when she
fell over.
Mary, (46), was walking
on the bridge across the River Lachart when she is alleged to have "tripped
on a loose plank" and fallen to the ground.
Though
Mary got back to her feet almost immediately, one eyewitness, who asked
not to be identified, claimed she "still looked like a fecking idjit,
poor woman." |

The first National Extreme Bog Snorkeling
Association Championship to be held in the village of Glen Lachart was
deemed a "disappointing failure" by competition organisers yesterday,
following the deaths of thirty-seven of the event's forty-three
entrants.
Following a long spell of dry, warm weather in the NESBA's usual South
of England base of operations which left the normally deep bogs
uselessly shallow, the event was switched to the expansive bogs of Glen
Lachart. The decision to use the village was based on organisers'
conclusion that a long spell of dry, warm weather in the Highlands was
"a scenario bordering on fantasy". |

In what is being heralded by some as a landmark
discovery in the world of dirty great holes in the ground, a long
concealed tunnel has been found slap bang in the middle of Glen Lachart
which local experts believe may well lead to the centre of the Earth!
The tunnel - already being cleverly dubbed "The Tunnel to the Centre of
the Earth" - was discovered by local historian, Dr MacGregor (66), when
he accidentally fell in it on his way back from Betty Tailor's Shop.
"I'd been to the shop to complain to Betty about her short-changing me
by fourteen pounds last time I'd been in and was just heading back home
when I spotted a big crack in the pavement," MacGregor explains.

Glen Lachart's much hyped multi million pound 'Centre For Tourism' has been branded "disappointing" by many villagers following its official unveiling on Thursday. In development for almost four years, and with massive private and public investment, the 'Centre For Tourism' was intended to be a state of the art "jump off point" for visitors to the area, providing them with local information at their fingertips and a selection of cutting edge facilities designed to help them make the most of their visit. The centre, it was planned, would also bring many benefits to the local economy, including the creation of several new jobs.

In a tearful press conference on the front step
of her village home last night, local doctor Janet White, told of the
"utter horror" she felt the moment she realised she had
misplaced her house keys.
Surrounded by friends, relatives, and a man with a crowbar, a weeping
Janet sent out a plea to anyone who might have information about the
location of her keys, begging them to come forward so that she could
gain access to her house "without breaking anything".
Though the exact time of the loss is unknown, it is estimated to have
taken place at around 3PM when, Janet claims, she could have been
"fecking anywhere."
