Cubby Duncan was a bit of a prankster. He was born in Hunghom. When asked by new Scottish acquaintances where he hailed from, he would respond: "Ungham, not far - as the crow flies - from Aberdeen". Frequently the visitor "knew it well", which always gave Cubby and his friends a chuckle when he repeated the story.
