Dwarf stolen from popular Scottish park as disappearance leaves children disappointed
Children have been left disappointed after a dwarf has gone missing from Fife’s Craigtoun Park.
The dwarf is one of seven that can be found around the park, along with Snow White, as part of a treasure hunt-style trail for families to complete during their visit.
However, the Friends of Craigtoun – the group of volunteers who run the park’s seasonal attractions – reported on social media on Tuesday that Bashful has disappeared.
They are now appealing for the item’s safe return and are urging whoever may have taken, or moved, the dwarf to bring him back or advise of his whereabouts.
The post on social media said: “We are very sad to report that, just days into the new season at Craigtoun, one of our Seven Dwarf figures has gone missing.
"Bashful is no longer in the Japanese Garden … and he didn't walk out of there on his own!
"We've searched the park in case he was moved as a prank, but have been unable to find him.
"If anyone knows of his whereabouts and can ‘persuade him to come back’, we would be very grateful as we have lots of disappointed children who are now unable to do the full Seven Dwarfs Trail.”
