How inventive, but no. The "of" is correct though. :D

Thought that would do it. Put me in mind of my old climbing mate Duffy, now in doggy Valhalla.

Thanks Charles, Duffy looks as if he was a grand wee dog.

A, first of its type in Scotland and also one of the newest.

Ay, ay - it's the village of Ae. Founded in 1947 to house forestry workers.

Aye Charles, it's Ae.

It was the first forest village to be established by the Forestry Commission in Scotland and was on a site not settled before, making it one of the newest villages in Scotland.

Scotland has been good at establishing New Towns in the post war era, but there have been very few new villages, the only other I know of is Cardrona.

Over to you.

Thanks Tinto? And Yes, Duffy was my soulmate, fiercely independent and stubborn as a mule. :D

Now, you'd be in need of some light if you encountered BS.

Is ye all stumped? Let's try another clue then.

Those of the female persuasion can relax, but if other and young, watch out!
