INVERGOWRIE — Fictional retiree Shona Reilly, 67, prints public maps and corrects them in red biro.

“AI moved Auchterarder,” she said. “I moved it back. Took twelve seconds. I also added a wee note saying ‘try harder’.”

Shona’s kitchen is now an unofficial cartography lab. Tea provided; arrogance not.

The real story: Fictional.

The views expressed are those of the reader, and frankly that's on them.

  1. Can confirm Shona’s red pen is terrifying and correct.
