PERTH — Walkers on Kinnoull Hill report the paths are now lined with hats, scarves and one full deckchair, all believed to have been delivered by the weekend’s winds.

“It’s like a museum,” said fictional walker Derek Lamond. “There’s a bobble hat from 1987. There’s a fascinator. I don’t know who took a fascinator up a hill in a storm, but I respect them.”

A Lost Hats trail is being considered. Please take care on hill paths after storms and watch for fallen branches.

The real story: Fictional.
