We are of course justly famous for having the second highest density of wallabies in Scotland, but there's much, much more to the wildlife of Glenboggin than just marsupials!

Today we celebrate the nature of Glenboggin and Fetterannie with the opening of 'Glenboggin Wildlife Week', an event which we hope will open the nation's eyes to the magic of nature here in our wee corner of Scotland, not to mention bring in a few toorists wi there pockets full!

So if you'd like to watch our wild mink chasing the grey squirrels through the forests of Japanese knotwood, or spy upon the mating habits of the Coypu under the canopy of giant hogweed, Glenboggin's the place to be.

C'mon Bill Oddie, now that Springwatch is over get yer' arse up here and see some real Scottish nature!

Congratulations to Fergus Macrahanish of Bog-Fetterannie following his win of 13 million euros in the Spanish lottery. Apparently he received an email out of the blue last Wednesday detailing his win.

Fergus quickly paid the standard 50 euros processing fee and the very next day a smart Spanish chap arrived in a helicopter along with 3 television crews delivering the cheque for 13 million euros, tax paid.

After depositing the cheque in the Royal Bank, Macskillop, they flew Fergus to Madrid for a press conference where he was presented to King Juan Carlos.

The cheque cleared without difficulty the next day and Fergus immediately set off on a world cruise with a young lady he met in Paisley High St whilst on his way to the airport.

Before leaving Fergus confided in the Glenboggin Courier - apparently the Spanish lottery have been trying to find a number of winners in the same way, but none ever reply.

We do not apologise for the substitution of the picture of the Hon treasurer, "Rotten Reggie" in a recent story with one portraying the Prime Minister. This was caused by a by Tony Blair.
The Hon Gordon Brown was seen attending a UKIP party conference in Blackpool and cavorting with floozies, and we simply got it right. So were not Sorry.

By our special correspondent

Has Wilma's mind been on other things of late? We note that, despite a firm instruction to her and our Hon treasurer "Rotten" Reginald Cooper-Smythe, to pay the dues for the website, it has lapsed as of the first October.

Rumours that the pair were seen recently sharing fish and chips on the seafront at Blackpool have been officially denied. "We just happen to have been attending the UKIP party congress as official delegates" blushed Wilma.

"Its looking like another first-class cock-up" spluttered Vice-Chair, Binky Scott-McNaughtie, through clenched teeth, "but GlenBoggin will rise again" .

"They are simply good friends" said a spokesperson for Rotten. "The recent closure of Glenboggin CC's bank account by the Royal Hibernian Bank is a complete co-incidence. I have no authority to  make any further comments".
