Who Knew? Some Fun Facts

There is a Scottish village, in the Italian Alps, where they
speak, Scottish Gaelic and wear tartan clothes, it is called
Gurro.

However, during the 16th century, while fleeing the aftermath of the
Battle of Pavia, blizzards meant that many Scottish troops returning
home had to bed in at Gurro for the winter.


I never knew this and I have been to Italy many, many times.

I got the original story from the Daily Record, a Scottish Newspaper.
