Correct. I guess the Glen Lyon clue was a dead giveaway. :lol:

Your go.

Have a guess at St Andrews, John Napier and the Logarithmic scale.

Time for the daily clue. A famous author wrote his most significant work on J.

I know where you are, I just don't know what it is.

Currently spending all time transferring photos from 342 trip reports from photbucket to flickr. Since photobucket is blackmailing users and from initially free, and then a small sum wants to charge us all over £300 per annum. I have got to 2013 and have loads to go.

Well, Jura isn't very large but this location is probably fairly obscure. However, the L in LW can also be found preceding B and R.

The very thought of trying to manage that many photos makes me feel weak.

Maybe a bit more help is needed. This place is said to have the earliest dated evidence for human habitation in Scotland. As ever, some dispute this, they wouldn't be archaeologists otherwise. :lol:

That should do it.

Correct. Thought that might do it. Supposedly confirming Jura's participation in the pithily called West European coastal Mesolithic. :D

Your go.

The WM greets, and often startles, travellers through the LL.
