- Description: French globetrotter who claimed to be undertaking a world tour accompanied by his dog. According to research by the Orkney Archive (2025), Charles Millot left Paris on 22 April 1901, aged 20, after betting with friends that he could walk around the world in six years without money, funding himself by selling illustrated postcards bearing his portrait. Between 1902 and 1903 he travelled across Europe - from Italy to Germany, Belgium, England and Ireland - finally reaching Scotland and the Orkney Islands, where he was photographed with his dog “Dundee". At each stage he visited newspaper offices and police stations to register his progress and have his consular papers stamped. British newspapers described him as a tireless, multilingual self-promoter known as “the French globe-trotter”
