Gallery Bouglaf

A bomb technician works on the legendary "Bougal Stane" during one of its periodic discharges. Nikola Tesla gets it in the head, while "Cactus" dawns in the distance [18 kiloton, Eniwetok Atoll, 5 May 1958] .

The Bougal Stane, situated in Orkney's remote Bruach na Troiche glen, attracted little attention until New Age groups began gathering in its vicinity following the great discharge of 1997. Scientists agree that it exhibits the properties of a naturally occurring Tesla coil.

Gallery Bouglaf has received the following items of correspondence on the subject of the Bougal Stane. William Gavin of Bristol Emailed us as follows:

"It is not widely known that the Bougal Stane, located some three miles south of the Achnashuddick stone circle complex, has inscriptions proving it was transported there from the Dog and Dinosaur in what is now the east end of London (and possibly the site of the present Queen Victoria in Walford)."

In view of Mr Gavin's established complicity in the "Michael Eavis is the Central Scrutinizer hoax" [details soon on front page], our faith in his scholarship is less than complete.

He was also responsible for placing the following small-ad in the Gallery's personal columns:

"Lump of plutonium .51 of critical mass seeks similar for a big get together."

"[email protected]" writes thus:

"While the Bougal Stane may indeed be of extra-terrestrial origin, its etymological associations are a pancake of a different consistency and link it firmly with northerly superstition. The Picts and their successors accredited "bougals" with being petrified bad spirits and are known to have destroyed many "bougal stanes" throughout what is now Scotland and Ireland. The famous stone on Orkney owes its survival to a much-feared Druidic order by whom it was venerated for what their literature calls "fire of mistletoe". "Bougal" and its variants "bougle", "boughal", et al., are cognate with "bogey" in the modern usage approximating to "spook". Sixteenth-century Scots supplies an example of a link formation in "bogill", as in Gawin Douglas's line "Of brownyis and of bogillis full is this buke" that Burns takes for an epigraph to "Tam O'Shanter".

Sgt McCruiskeen also requested a picture of a bicycle. We regret we have none at present.

"Tesla" , 7 kiloton, 1 March 1955, a small but perfectly formed atomic bomb, Nevada Test Site's homage to the man whose achievement as history's greatest electrical genius remains insufficiently acknowledged.

With thanks to "Mike's Electric Stuff" for the Tesla coil lightning. Press the clicker to see Mike's electrical spectacles and dangerous delights at the UK Teslathons and more.

On the eve of Waterloo, Napoleon broods after seeing the weird omen of a candy floss do-nut in the heavens. High above the Lincoln Memorial, a British spy satellite monitors his embarrassing medical condition.

[Featuring "Trucktee", 210 kiloton, detonated 7000 feet above Christmas Island, 9 June 1962.]
