Fairies and MacFeng Shui

A great story coming out of St. Fillans, Perthshire - a new housing estate was stopped dead in its tracks . . . by fairies. Just as the bulldozers were revving up, a St. Fillanite came running over shouting that the rock about to go under the machine had fairies living under it. Even the town council went to bat for the fairies:

Jeannie Fox, council chairman, said: “I do believe in fairies but I can’t be sure that they live under that rock. I had been told that the rock had historic importance, that kings were crowned upon it.” Her main objection to moving the rock was based on the fact that it had stood on the hillside for so long: a sort of MacFeng Shui that many in the village subscribe to.

Don't you love "MacFeng Shui"? I guess in Ireland it would be O'Feng Shui, Germany - Feng von Shui, etc. At any rate - and before I beat a dead horse here - the property company had to redesign the layout. You can relax; the fairies are safe. Read the rest of the story here.

Have a magical MacMonday morning.
