Can I have a 'P' please Bob - Scotland

It's surely Seonaidh?

I got Lewis from the chessmen but the rest required quite a bit of googling.

It is, at last! A fertile ground, Hebridean folklore.

Your go.

Which B might you pass through on the way to a loch with some "weird" inhabitants?

Have a go at Bracorina and Loch Morar, where resides Morag, a kelpie.

Blar na Leine (battle of the shirts) between Loch Lochy where Lizzie lives and Loch Oich where a beast with a shaggy, dog-like head lives. OK OK . . . bit of a long shot I know

[Sgurr]

Ballachuilish to find the The North American Signal Crayfish in Ballachulish Quarry ????? I suppose it doesn't really count as a loch????? Maybe it lives in that wee loch near Glencoe village as well....not far to crawl.

[garyoppolis]

None of those I'm afraid, although the answer lies within a triangle with those three places at the points.

For inspiration, you could look to a castle on the banks of the River Lochy.

Banavie is a little too close to rockhopper, but it could be the southernmost range of Nessie

[garyoppolis]

Not Banavie I'm afraid.

The castle I had in mind in the last clue is not Inverlochy but Tor Castle.

[Sgurr]

Is it Buinne a’Chait where the cat king was once roasted on a spit.(A meal I cannot bring myself to fancy)

[garyoppolis]

Not that either I'm afraid.

I'm possibly being a bit obscure with this one. so I'll flesh the clues out a little...

A well known reputed former owner of Tor Castle is closely linked to the "weird" inhabitants of this loch - of which there are three.

[larry groo]

I'll have a go at Balloch then.

[garyoppolis]

Not Balloch either.

General Wade would have passed through here...

[Sgurr]

Brackletter?????????

[garyoppolis]

I'm afraid not, although we are getting closer in a geographical sense.


Rockhopper was half way there with Blar...

[Sgurr]

Blar nam Feinne? (Getting a bit far away, but still near Gen Wade's route)
