Scottish Highlands Swamped by Very Confused Dragons Seeking Wi-Fi
The serene Scottish Highlands have recently become the unlikely hotspot for what locals are calling "the most polite dragon invasion ever."
Residents reported sightings of several dragons ambling about, not breathing fire or hoarding gold, but rather looking perplexed and occasionally stopping to ask passing tourists, "Excuse me, do you have Wi-Fi?" Experts believe the dragons have emerged from centuries of myth only to discover the modern world's biggest mystery: the internet connection.
Local sheep farmer Angus McFluff explained, "At first, I thought it was just a weird fog or maybe a mirage, but then one of the dragons politely tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I knew the password for 'Highlands_Free_WiFi'. I offered him some haggis instead — he seemed unsure if it was food or a new type of smartphone."
Dragon enthusiast and part-time bagpiper Fiona MacTickle revealed, "They're not interested in gold or princesses. One even asked me if it could join my Zoom call. I told it only works if you’re wearing a kilt, so naturally, it roared with laughter."
While officials scramble to provide Wi-Fi hotspots across the Highlands, local tourism boards are optimistic. "We've always promoted the Highlands as a place of mystery," said spokesperson Hamish O'Malley. "Now we can add 'Wi-Fi-friendly dragon habitat' to our brochures. Just please don’t invite them to your BBQ — they really struggle with marshmallows."
In the meantime, hikers are advised to carry power banks, sheep are advised to stay calm, and dragons are advised to please stop asking for the Wi-Fi password at the pub. After all, even mythical creatures need a break from buffering.
