Scottish water is going to repair sewers from the 1800’s under the streets of Tain. Tain is Scotland’s oldest royal burgh and received its charter in 1066 from King Malcolm III.

Update:
I did some more reading after ‘s dad asked “where is King Malcolm on the Bayeux Tapestry”

My response was “he would probably have been fighting with the French

which was about a month before the battle of Hastings.
