Meet Great Scotty: The Travelling Toe Monster from Cheddar Gorge
Appearance: Great Scotty is an impressive sight with his long legs and fluffy golden fur. His ears are large and bunny-like, in keeping with his Toe Monster heritage. He’s often seen sitting down, which makes it all the more surprising when he stands up and reveals his towering height.
Personality: Great Scotty is a relaxed and contemplative Toe Monster. He enjoys watching the world go by, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling tourist spots he visits. His gentle nature and love for travel make him a unique and fascinating character among the Toe Monsters.
Cave Life: When Great Scotty is not travelling, he enjoys the simple pleasures of life in Cheddar Gorge. He loves to visit the coffee shop cave, where he can sit comfortably, drink coffee, and read the travel section of the newspaper. His favourite spot offers a perfect view of the cave exit, allowing him to watch tourists mill about outside.
In his favourite coffee shop cave, you’ll find him seated with a steaming cappuccino and a slice of chocolate cake on the table next to him. The front page of his newspaper usually features a photo of a tropical beach, hinting at his next travel destination. The ambiance of the cave is cosy, with tables and chairs that invite lingering, perfect for a Toe Monster who loves to people-watch.
Fun Fact: Over the decades his many travels has caused confusion, legends that have grown around him. For example, in British Columbia he is known as Sasquatch, in Northern California Big Foot, and in Alaska, Yeti. Great Scotty remains a creature of habit when he’s in Cheddar. His daily routine of coffee, cake, and newspapers is something he looks forward to, no matter where his adventures take him next.
Warning: Children, if you see a large, golden-furred Toe Monster with exceptionally long legs reading a newspaper, don’t be alarmed. It’s just Great Scotty enjoying his downtime. Feel free to wave hello, but remember, he’s watching the world go by and might not always notice you!
