You know, until this weekend, I had always thought Gail's friends M and J were upright and law abiding citizens.
How wrong I was.
On Saturday morning, we met M and J, and also their friend K, for a walk around the Castle Fraser estate.
Avoiding the hordes of children taking part in an Easter egg hunt, we headed away from the castle and in the direction of the woodland walk.
But oh dear, it seemed our favourite path was closed on safety grounds.
I assumed we'd take the diversion, but the humans decided to ignore the sign.
K, who is originally from the Netherlands, made a joke about how he thought Germans always obeyed rules. M firmly reminded him that she is Austrian not German, and peace in our time was restored.
So we skirted round the barrier and soon came to the tranquil 'Flight Pond', where Gail and M stopped to take photos while J and K searched in vain for dangerous sinkholes.
We would all like to thank the National Trust for Scotland for putting up misleading signs and thus allowing our little party of rebels to enjoy a walk to a favourite beauty spot free of (law abiding) Easter weekend crowds...
