If you lived in a place with a Dull church, a Dull war memorial and a Dull Highland Adventure Safari would you fancy a trip to a town featuring Boring pubs and Boring restaurants?
That's what lies in store for the residents of the small settlement of Dull in Scotland as the community gears up to formally link with the town of Boring situated in the U.S. some 9,085 miles away.
A bond has been formed between the Scottish village near Aberfeldy in Perthshire and the equally unexciting sounding town in Oregon following talks between Dull and Weem Parish Council and Boring Community Planning Organisation.

Boring is too large when compared with Dull to qualify for official twinning status, but the two communities are hoping to create a close bond.
Community council chairman Tommy Pringles joked: 'We might experience traffic incidents when people see the sign by the road.
'Its bad enough when people stop dead to photograph the signpost for Dull.
'Imagine how many people would do a double-take if it said Welcome to Dull, a Sister Community of Boring?'
