MINTO, COLIN (1960 - ) Nuisance, Trespasser, Poet. Self-appointed figurehead with the Ramblers' Association. Sporadically appears in Drumfeld with the express intention of going where he is not welcome. Three years ago, Minto had to be rescued from cows agitated by his garishly clad presence amongst their young. Surrounded and jostled, he managed to climb a tree in which he was forced to spend the night. This incident, which anyone else might have considered a source of excruciating embarrassment, was commemorated in one of his ‘poems'. These, written in a Scottish vernacular of Minto's own invention occasionally appear in the sort of periodicals sold by indigents.
