On August 8, 1988, six thousand visitors descended on the town (population 300). The tourists wanted to buy postcards to be franked at 8.08 am with an 88 postmark. One couple drove there to be married at 8.08 on the church's eighth step.
Name Origin
Reportedly, the town got its name because it is 8.8 mile from Glasgow, and back toward Glasgow is 44 which is 4.4 mile from Glasgow. The natives can confirm this..
