Viking longboat knocks out power supply in Kirkcudbright
A Viking longboat has knocked out power supplies in a south of Scotland town.
The replica vessel was in Kirkcudbright as part of celebrations for the arrival of the Galloway treasure hoard at the town's galleries.
It was being taken to a local primary school at about 10:30 when its mast became tangled in an overhead power line on St Mary Street.
SP Energy Network said only one customer had been affected and they hoped to have it repaired by 17:00.

If we are being really pedantic, Vikings used War Boats, Snekke, Drekkar and Skeid, (which were longships)Aaaagh! Pet peeve of mine. The Vikings had longships.
Longship: Viking ship powered by square sail or multiple oars, used in warfare and raids.
Longboat: a ship's boat used for things like transporting casks of water and other supplies, as well as crew, between the ship and the shore. In use from around 1500 (long after the Vikings) to the late 1700s.
Yes, although those words are not in common use in modern English, whereas "longship" is.If we are being really pedantic, Vikings used War Boats, Snekke, Drekkar and Skeid, (which were longships)
So that's what this song is about - misuse of the word "longboat".
