I think somone in the Scottish forestry commission has a thing for exhibitionism


This photo was taken earlier today from the Northbound carriageway of the M74 near Abington (junction of the A702, about 40 miles from Edinburgh). I swear to god I haven't photoshopped it. The only alteration I have made is to crop it smaller. Look it up on google maps if you want more proof.

I know exactly where that is!
I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice.

Not just local legend
it's well known further north as well- I once broke down near there and described my position to the people I was supposed to be meeting as "just next to that massive hillside cock-forest". "next to the motorway on the way up from England?" "Yup, that's the one."

Since you know locals maybe you could answer:
Where did it come from? Is it a natural formation or did someone cut it into that shape- and if they did was it supposed to look phallic?

I have no idea how to add a pic, so hope this link works.
This was one of a series of water features in a pub garden on Dartmoor.

I passed that on the way home
from newcastle a few months ago :) I live only a few miles further north and was heartened to see that I'm not the only person with a driving desire to turn everything into a hilarious cock-and-balls in the country :)

Ahhh every time I've driven up to Glasgow
I've forgotten about it, until I saw it, then a few moments of attempted motorway driving while fumbling for my phone camera then trying to take a pic that doesn't blur to fuck whilst concentrating on the road has resulted in me yet to take a good pic of it.
