1795, 1804 and 1810 witnessed falls😊 which demonstrated that stones fell from space . I was lucky enough to look after the High Possil meteorite while curator in the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. Auld-skool web pages, including bicentenary events in Possil now on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20110609195537if_/http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/john/Huntmin/hposs.htm
