Medical Freak Show

Since I was in the area, I had to show doctor Siri the Clootie Well on the Black Isle. The concept, for those who haven't read about it before, is that you dip a piece of clothing related to your illness (say a shoe for an aching foot) in the water and then leave it on a tree in the vicinity. Only utter eejits believe this will do any good.

I suggested Siri come back on her own with a chainsaw and a tank of petrol, and she was open to the idea.

The actual well. I believe it's dedicated to St. Boniface.

If you believe in this rubbish you've got bigger problems.

A very skeptical Dr. Siri.

Hugging the tree and feeling the love right back at ya.
