(but only because Marie Antionette was killed in the French revolution, and I can't think of any other tenuous links to Kyleakin, Kensaleyre, Kilmore, Kilvaxter, Kingsburgh, Kilbride or any other K's I can find on a Skye map!! :lol: )


Not Kilmarie, and where's the S they ask. Revisit your list, the solution lies therein.

Might have gone a bit quicker if the weather was bad! As it was, it was fine walking weather these last couple of days to be up hills .... :D

So an easier one ....

A voyage of discovery from PF to D

I'm hoping that D is Dundee where the Discovery is berthed, so I am guessing Perth Festival?????

You've got the right Discovery and D is indeed Dundee ..... But it's not Perth or a festival

Yes, in Scotland, further north than Dundee (and Perth for that matter), but not a town or city.

Guess it's Pentland Firth then. If so, then give it to Sgurr for the initial lead.

Nope, not Pentland Firth. It's inland, not on the coast, and is where a part of Discovery came from ....

Could it be one of the masts/some of the timber came from a Forest? We have the choice of one at the Plodda Falls, or I could list a whole lot more, but pointless if it isn't a forest.

Yes, the masts for Discovery, now in Dundee were from Plodda Falls.

Well, that was just a wild guess. Who would have thought it!!! Maybe something stuck in the back of my mind from a notice as we have been there.

Very ingenious, but no. Something else. You can still visit D
