News emerging from Scotland this afternoon suggests that the Slam Tent is set to be named as a national monument.
The Slam Tent, which featured at last weekend’s T in the Park festival, has become synonymous with Scottish youth culture and making it a national monument would be a forward thinking decision by an increasingly progressive government.
Scottish National Party spokesperson Callum Blaire spoke to Wunderground, “2016 is clearly going to be a year for change here in Scotland as we look to distance ourselves from the pansies south of the border. We need to develop a new sense of national identity and what better way to do that then name something as classically Scottish as the Slam Tent as our latest national monument.”
Known for being incredibly difficult to find, the Slam Tent, currently located in the grounds of Strathallen Castle, is expected to attract millions of tourists every year.
“There’s huge interest in the Slam Tent,” continued Mr Blaire. “We expect that it will be one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions for many years to come. The tent in a bit of a mystery, some people believe that it doesn’t really exist, like the Loch Ness monster, and others know it is real and have spent their entire lives unsuccessfully looking for it, so we’re predicting a lot of interest, both on an international and national level.”
“We’ve even managed to track down the star of the ‘Easy Lionel’ YouTube video to work as the curator of the Slam Tent visitors’ center. Exciting times!”
According to reports from Holyrood, the Scottish Parliament are set to lobby Westminster and the Catholic Church in an attempt to have Buckfast Abbey relocated from Devon to an area north of Glasgow. Should the Parliament’s bid be successful the Abbey would join the Slam Tent on the list of new national monuments.
