Lightning Kills Mason on Dundee and Newtyle Line
A mason named Hugh Stewart was killed by lightning during a fierce Friday thunderstorm near Balbeuchlie on the Dundee and Newtyle Railway. Two passersby were knocked down but recovered. The corpse showed severe lacerations, a ground-hole aligned with the right foot, and a bonnet torn to shreds. Eyewitnesses said lightning ran along the rails like squibs, and even the nails in his studded shoe were cut. A nearby stone rail anchor split in two and buttons scattered from his coat. Also reported: a meteoric stone fell on Perth’s North Inch after a loud peal, startling locals. Dr. Anderson has secured a piece. A separate anecdote from Ayrshire describes a hotel breakfast mishap involving a boisterous guest demanding his “dogs” for breakfast, provoking laughter and scorn from fellow diners.
