A90 — The fictional convoy of cones blown to Dundee by Boelo has reached Inchture, moving in single file with what witnesses called “quiet dignity”.

“They’re almost home,” said a lorry driver. “I fear for them. Home means a trench.”

On arrival they will be thanked, photographed, and placed on a road that is fine.

The real story: Fictional.
