Can I have a 'P' please Bob - Scotland

The "main" ports of the Outer Hebrides could be considered to be: Castlebay, Lochboisdale, Lochmaddy, Tarbert and Stornoway?

Even further away than the other two I'm afraid!

Next in the sequence is HS.

[Sgurr]

Are they the five Scottish Whisky regions? Campbeltown, Lowland, Highland, Speyside and yet to come Islay?

No, HS is one of the set of five, it's not two separate things.

Next clue - C again, but a different C obviously.

As a bonus clue, L, HS and the second C are usually referred to by the definitive article.

Well, I'm learning that Scotland really does do things by fives

It has five Universites (including 5 medical schools)
Five ski resorts
Five long distance trails (I think I can name more, but Visit Scotland cannae)
Five airports
Five regional forestry forums
Five species of insectivore
Five dedicated young people's secure units
Five specialist cancer centres
Five Open Championship courses
Five canals
Five different tax bands

ALL FOR FIVE MILLION POPULATION

Maybe I haven't checked carefully enough, but none of them seem to have 2 C's an L and an HS

Mr. Google should get his act together....or I should get a life...Yipppee husband thinks he might be able to stagger out for a walk after 1 attempt yesterday and a cold that has lasted since Dec 20th.

It's none of those things.

I think everyone's getting fed-up with this, so here's the five clues including the final part:

C
L
HS
C
AS

Could it be The Castle, Arthurs Seat, Costorphine, and the High School, then the Lomonds, and they are all hills you can see from ? the parliament, the Queensferry crossing? or somewhere important.


No. I'm obviously footling about in the wrong collection.

No, but you're getting close.

This is one of Scotland's most famous and iconic things. One of the component parts is mentioned in a well-known folk song, and the whole thing's name was borrowed as the title of a song by a Scottish musician.

It's streets off the Royal Mile


Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street, Canongate and Abbey Strand

Yep, well done. Think I overdid it with the clues at the end!

Collectively they are the streets that make up the Royal Mile.

Gerry Rafferty had a song called The Royal Mile, and the Canongate is mentioned in the song 'The Keel Row' "as I ganged doon the Canongate", etc.

I should have twigged when you posted them vertically. It was obviously going along a street then, but I thought you had just done it for ease of reading.

Although CS is associated with C, only a small % of CS is in C

Caithness Stone which actually extends as far as Orkney from Sutherland. It is mainly visible in Caithness and that is where the name comes from. I don't know the percentages so this is is just a guess.

Sorry, no. Creative try.

I originally laid it out horizontally but thought that made it too easy!
