    Gordon, thank you for telling this story and telling it so well!
    I will remember NEVER to dine at the Alexander Bean Memorial Cafeteria.

    What an interesting story. Thank you for telling it. I thought it sounded a little familiar and then you got to the end talking about Wes Craven’s movie. I have seen that movie once but never again. LOL

    My great grandmother used to tell us this story as a warning not to walk alone at night or else Sawney Bean will get you.

    Very interesting story. I thought it sounded familiar as you were telling it and then you mentioned Wes Craven’s movie. I have seen that one once but will not again. LOL thank you for the interesting story.

    I wonder if S.R. Crockett in his book "The Raiders" knew this tale.

      Could be, Steve. I think it was a well-known tale. Kind regards, Gordon

    This could explain why McDonald's took off as a popular fast food chain. I can't imagine the international disgust had it been McBean's, 🤢 value menu.

      Ahh ha, well maybe not mention this story too much! Kind regards, Gordon

    The description of the cave reminds me of part of the harry potter story. Very interesting story.

      Perhaps Ms Rowling obtained some inspiration from the story, Brian! Kind regards, Gordon

    Gordon maybe you can help me. One of my ancestors was a lady by the name of Jeanie McCarnen who emigrated from Edinborough around 1800. I've been unable to find any reference to the surname. She married a Dougherty who was my mothers great whatever grandfather.

    • @gordonsscotland8441
      @gordonsscotland8441  Před 3 lety

      Sorry, Tom, I've never heard of this surname either. Dougherty is an Irish name so maybe McCarnen was of Irish origin?

    Great story if a bit scary! I was going to make a joke but perhaps in poor taste? LOL!

    I wonder if George RR MArtin hear about this story, and based his incestuous cannibal clan north of the wall on the Beans?
