SS is part of the SQ

SS is part of the trilogy SQ...Hello....has everyone stopped reading this thread???

No, but utterly baffled and bereft of any inkling as to what might be the answer. The only JLM to come to mind was John Loudon Macadam and he WAS famous. So no joy there.

Still no idea about JLM or GG, but is it Sunset Song and Scots Quair? Both of which I have never previously heard of.

YES!! It is. For a long while every child that did Scottish Higher English, and every student that did a course in Scottish Literature had to read it. There was even a TV series of it at one point, and a 2015 Film. I suppose I should have said LGG Lewis Grassic Gibbon, but he is largely referred to as Grassic Gibbon which was the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell. I can remember a friend who taught English despairing when her own son went stomping round the house saying "I DON'T SEE THE NEED for me to know about the stupid maunderings of some stupid girl when I'm going to be a mathematician," a subject in which he later became a Prof.

Thanks, I am duly enlightened. Had I been educated in Scotland I may have been better informed, though some would doubt it.

That was tough, so here's an easy one.

DC houses both my given names namesake of royal antecedence and a lupine character.

Is It Dunkeld Cathedral, resting place of The Wolf of Badenoch and Charles Edward Stuart, Count Roehenstart?

Correct, perhaps too easy. I am not a Stuart by the way, but I am a Charles Edward, my mother being a Gael and a bit romantic. Your go.

Guesswork, but is it the somewhat controversially named Spey Valley?

Sorry Charles. To give its full name it is really SVRS I am thinking of, the first two letters give the location.

Well done. It was reported on BBC Scotland that they are upgrading it to take account of the "Russian Threat". I don't know if this means they can intercept all the "facebook posts attempting to destabilise electoral processes" or if they are more interested in actual planes. When we went it looked as if they were leaving it to a squadron of trained bonxies,. May not have to turn over the cafe to operational duties again as it is going to be remotely controlled, but no easier a Marilyn to bag than when we went to have a look at it.

Thanks Sgurr, glad you enjoyed your visit to Unst, we have never been north of Yell....

Try this one: CS: Drover hit in the face by zero degree rock?

[Tinto63]

Time for a clue : the zero degree rock could have been wielded by a robber.

[Tinto63]

Time for another clue: Highest point on DR from F to P.

Is it Cauldstane Slap?
