Well perhaps, EA, meaning that I would take another guide which had the places linked by railroad.
And in a way it becomes a selection of places in Scotland. (I don't know if that can be called General Trivia). …village in that part of the country: 3.1 – Hairpiece. = Wigtown …village in that part of the country: 3.2 - Humour + deer’s headpiece. = Whithorn …piece of land: 3.3 – Of 3.2 = Isle of Whithorn …village in that part of the country: 3.3 – Mid-19th Century main port to Ireland. Port Patrick = …and this concludes the Southern Scotland session… Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 04-27-2006 at 06:06 PM. |
