What can a devil do if a building he likes to haunt is circular in shape!
With no corners to hide, he would find a hard time giving his pursuers a slip. That was the concept behind the construction of the Round Church in 1767 in the village of Bowmore in Speyside, Scotland. Still, one evening he was spotted wandering outside the church raising a huge alert. The local congregation, hundreds of them, spotted the monster, began to chase him down the town. Poor devil, he ran as fast as a devil could in such disgraceful situations until he reached the gates of Bowmore distillery s famed No 1 vaults and whoosh, he disappeared.
