Scottish tales continued: Sawney Bean, the head of a family of cannibals living in Bennane Cave, 17km South from Girvan. It was said the 48 member led clan – a product of incest and continued breeding within the family-in 15/16th century Scotland were responsible for murdering and eating more than 1000 people. They left their cave at night to catch mostly unaware travellers. Residents of nearby towns would often find body parts washing up onto the shore, strewn across the beach…until after many, many years the family were finally caught and brought to Edinburgh to face execution without trial. I have spent many childhood holidays down near the cave (yet I did not dare go in as I believed the cannibals may still be hiding far inside…) and design is available for tattooing, email goatskullshirley.com to get in touch (answering emails tomorrow 🖤) . . . . . . .
