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…
