Derek Patterson Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Has anyone heard of this and if so do they know where it is? Apparently there's a couple of other places that share the name (out past Scone Palace and also near Leven in Fife) but this is somewhere around Perth. Thought it may have been somewhere up the back of Craigie or Moncrieffe or maybe up Necessity Brae way. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AthensSaint Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds like the place that the North Muirton and Muirton young boys used to go to on Woody Island to see for the first time what another boys willy looked like.

Willie Peat Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Spinky Den was on Callerfountain Hill at the end of a path which ran from Woodhead of Mailer Farm (near the top of Necessity Brae) through to Callerfountain. Not sure if the path is still there or is even accessible. `"Spinky" is the Scots word for a primrose and years ago Spinky Den was a popular spot in Springtime due to its colourful display of yellow primroses. fazman1977 and Tranmere Saintee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Maid Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 It may just be a spelling mistake and if it is then Fairmaid would surely know where it is ;-) It is spelled "saintee6life" and means "non-existent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
