There is the tragic story of young Andrew Macauley who, seeing his beloved apparently drowning in a Highland loch, jumped in to save her - forgetting that he was wearing his hemyocks, which dragged him to a watery death. If only he had realised she was skinny-dipping, and taken his kilt off.

A particular kind of cake. Jarrow Cakes are about the size of hockey pucks/mini pork pies, rather crumbly, with a sweet glaze on the outside, but a moist, non-sweet interior. It's all in the glaze for Jarrow Cakes, really. A great little something to serve with tea, but a bit bland for anything else.
