Wow, I got to the end of the article before I realized this was Perth, Scotland and not Perth, Western Australia. The article started talking about the ancient roots to the Stone of Destiny and I was confused that the museum was honoring Scottish immigrants instead of the Whadjuk Noongar People.

They kicked me out of Scotland for trying to French kiss the Blarney Stone.

Huh, I live in Perth (Australia) and there were enough references in the article to things from Perth (Australia) to not make an obvious link to Scotland:

  • There's a Museum of Perth
  • There's a suburb named Kinross (I thought it strange this lone suburb was singled out for mention). I didn't think the suburb of Kinross had particularly deep and ancient roots though.
  • There's a George Street in Perth (WA)

I suppose the name of the news site should have been a give away.

I'm willing to bet there's a George Street in every city in every state. He was after all a king. I've seen half a dozen.
